Hi, I have a nice floral tooled saddle. But it has some places where the lac came off (or rubbed off). How can i fix this? Thanks

Hi, I found a saddle online. Bought it but found out the saddle tree is broken at one of the bars. It also needs some stiching replaced. Should I put my energy in restoring the saddle? A saddlemaker told me the bars can be fixed (he didn't see the saddle in real life, only the picture). What are your ideas? Thanks
