First, are you sure one's damascus and the other is fluid?
Second, I think it may be an F.
As for restoring it - it can't be done. Generally, guns can't be restored, especially old American shotguns. All you can do is refinish them. Then they look refinished, not restored to new.
Personally, I prefer to leave them as original as possible.
That gun already has a refinished butt stock. It may be converted from PG, too, but I can't tell from the pics.
The bbls may or may not be a problem. I would clean it up and leave it at that. I know a guy in Portsmouth who can do it (same guy our very tall mutual friend uses) . This guy has a Lefever EE in his shop right now in similiar shape.
As for value, if the bbls are good, I'd say $1500 - $2000 after it's all cleaned up, maybe some more if it cleans up well.
