is possible, replaced elements as close to original in material and
style as possible. Really nice case in good shape, original finish
cleaned up and looking nice.

How much can such a thing be worth.

Thanks

Ric,
Given the obscurity of this instrument, I wouldn't bother. If it were a
Broadwood or a Steinway or ???? then, have at it. In your description, you
don't mention if it has any local/country Historical significance. If it
does not, then again, don't bother. As for a dollar/Krona value, that is
only relevant if the instrument is going to be sold after the "restoration".
OR, if needed for Insurance purposes. In the case of insurance value, what
ever it will cost to do the Restoration, plus some bucks for the "hulk",
will be what it would be valued at.
