You are going to hate my answer, but it all depends...
Some might need to be finished off, some might have to go right back to the 1K. I think your best bet is to just test it and see where you stand. I don't think it will be possible to give an across the board recommendation as the edge will vary a great deal between manufacturers.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

I'd go along with the previous post. Give it a good stropping and try it first. If that dose not work for you go to the 12K Nani, strop and try again. I would not go any lower in the grit range than I absolutely have to. Let us know if the NOS was really shave ready out of the box when you get it.
