Sorry for your loss.
Do NOT hot blue the shotgun! The barrels are probably soldered together and a hot blue process will cause everything to come apart, i.e. barrels and upper and lower ribs. A proper rust blue is a royal pain, but it looks soooo good, and is appropriate for the vintage. It also enhances the Damascus barrel pattern if you have those barrels.
Regards,
Bob
