As you observed, in that the gun is > 100 years old, it is likely well past due a good check and clean by a doublegun specialist. Let us know where you are and we might be able to recommend someone nearby.
The recoil pad is not original and if hardened you might want to replace it with a period appropriate reproduction; also discussed in the FAQs.
