Ouch - Looks like someone started to strip and someone else jumped in and said NOOOOOOO! So how do you go about judging a value on this? You would have to guesstimate an 'as is' value and then try to restore the part that's stripped and guesstimate again. I assume this is the way to go, by preserving as much of the original as possible and trying to match.

Thing is, it's one of those situations where restoration is going to be difficult/tricky. It's a somewhat rare & important item, so you want to do it right or you risk losing more value by damaging it further. Better off in the hands of a professional restoration, which means more cost.
