As I'm new to SR shaving, I need the opinions of people who know what they are doing. Attached are some pictures of a razor I was given by a friend who is a knife guy (he made the antler scales). He said the blade was over 100 years old. The black marks are some pretty bad pitting (both sides). I think it used to be a round toe, but that was honed pretty badly it looks like. There's some flattening on the spine, and a few small chips on the edge. It was probably a 5/8 blade at one point, but now is at 4.5/8.

Do you think it is worth having restored? If so, who would you suggest sending it to and what would the ballpark cost be?
