I mean people put burnt money back together to determine how much was burnt and museums do some restoring that is not to be believed. Is it worth all that ?

If he was going to lap the original label off I wouldn't even bother taking a copy of the original. It wouldn't help confirming it's a Escher. Anyone can take a copy of a Escher label and stick it on a stone.

I'd get some 60 grit Emory cloth and go to town on the top. There's plenty of stone left to lap that chip out. Tape off the edges of the back and use some polyurethane to seal the label first though.
