Default refinish or not?

I have recently been handed down my grandfathers Winchester model 74 22 long rifle. I'm not really sure if it is rare but I do know that it was made between 1939 and 1955. Question is, should I refinish it or not? It does have some scratches and wear on the stock but I understand that refinishing it may hurt the value. I'm not selling it, not sure if it is really worth much as far as money but it means a lot to me. just wondering what you guys and gals would do. Also anyone have an idea of the value of the gun? It looks to be in good shape. Thanks
