Question Restoration or corruption, help

This is from my latest blast at ebay, still two pieces to arrive and all funds depleted for some time now. I had only intended to leave a very small bid but forgot the decimal point could has been a little alarming. Saying that I am very glad I got this wonderful unique Central African piece "Freddy, Luc what say you?".

The fact that it is so unique has put me in a dilemma. Does such uniqueness demand restoration or is that a corruption of the main appeal as the blade is not in any way important. I am confident I could make sympathetic restoration, not invisible perhaps hidden at first glance, not an eyesore. Opinions please?

Blade 26cm total tip to tip 58cm. I think this is a fascinating object.
