Default Restoration recommendations

Greetings,

I've got a hand me down parker that I would like to restore. To be honest the end goal is to sell it as it isn't anything that my wife or I will shoot. I don't mind putting the sweat into it but I don't really know where to start and at what point I'm doing more harm than good. It's a 1923 Parker, frame size 1 mod 0 grade VH. Looks like it has been dropped a couple of times with the stock being chipped and the foregrip has a crack in it and is held together with a small piece of metal. From the metal it seems that someone put a new stain on the wood but didn't bother to take it off the gun.

What's my best course? Repair the stock and foregrip or find a new one? Should I just clean, polish, and lube the metal or have it re-blued?
Not to put an ugly edge to it, am I spending my time wisely for something I'll very likely sell off once I'm done?

Thanks!
