Your top lever is also left of where it should be indicating that the locking bolt is worn. Notice the radius is off of alignment. This should be lined up even and would have been at the factory. If it is right of that spot, then it usually means a dirty action. But if it is left of that mark, it means wear.
The action does look quite off face. Is it also loose?
The gaps between the wood and metal on the top tang would indicate a bit of head spreading to me.
Any things like the bad screws on the bottom could be corrected with new or repaired screws. This would be best done by someone that is repairing the engraving on the action which is quite worn on this specimen.
