Based on the photos you have shown, the gun appears to be in decent overall condition, with the exception of the pinned head. The big positive is the Titanic steel barrels vs. damascus.

In the grand scheme of things, a 30" 12g. 2 frame DH is pretty common and usually not "worth" restoring from a fiscal standpoint. And, really the condition is not so bad to justify any sort of full restoration.
However, some basic things like replacing the recoil pad, cleaning and making sure the head of the stock is sound, and maybe even eliminating the pin may be worth while to do.

The pad looks like it is likely original to the gun and was ordered with it.
