Welcome to SRP
Your DD is in pretty good shape and a good candidate for restoration, excepting one bad possibility. It does not look like cell rot, just poor maintenance. The one bad possibility is the rainbow discoloration at the toe and heel could be either natural harmless oxidation or signs of blown temper. A pro honer should check this before doing much to the razor.
As it is a heirloom I would recommend sending it to a pro for testing of the temper and then restoration followed by honing. If the temper is blown make a shadow box display out of it. You can find some pros in the Member Services Classifieds.

Sorry wrong link, that’s the Summer meet link.
Here is the January meet link.
We are looking for a larger turn out with lots of hands on workshops especially for new guys, we have a bunch of new guys locally.
