I would lean towards what some of the others are saying. That is to means as is since other than finish loss, there is nothing wrong with the gun. And you do have some original finish remaining on the frame, mostly on the top.
However, to play devil'a advocate, if you were to restore it, you have a great platform to do so since you are basically only talking about cosmetic restoration or freshening up.
In regards to value. Given what VHE 20s are currently selling for in that condition, I would not think you would be able to get a ton more out of the gun when restored when you factor in price of gun plus restoration cost.
