This remoinds me, I got an old remington 16 gauge I need to get restored.

Just do a simple rebluing job. After all, it's a revolver.

Take it in. You can use the compound yourself but it isn't as good and won't last very long. If it's a good peice and you want to have it around a while drop the cash and get it Parkerized.

Yeah, what he said.
You could also do what I did with my grandfather's JC Higgins Model 30.
I refinished the stock myself and sent the metal parts out to be redone with Duracoat.

Some of their examples are pretty wild, but they can do basic black or blue finishes that look really sharp and are very durable.

Don't sandblast it. If the gun is as old as you say, it could be a softer metal and you could really damage it by "blasting" it with abrasives. There are alternatives to cleaning besides "blasting"
