That razor deserves a proper job done to it and he does good work. It does fall into the category of a well-wanted razor. So it does have value.
But as Roy said, we don't put a money value on razors. It is worth what someone is willing to pay. And that can change week to week and person to person.
A good restore job will bring it back to useable status. Looks like the heal might need a little work too. And keep the original scales. Yes, they are not pretty but in that day horn was what was used.
Get it fixed up and we will be happy to help you to learn to use it. And NO! Razor honing is not like knife sharpening! It takes many many hours of learning to do it right and a lot of practice. Please don't try to hone that one yourself. Buy some vintage American razors from 1920 or 1930 to learn to hone. And be ready to spend months and months and possibly a year or two learning. Depending on how much time you put into it.
