It needs a very careful restoration.
@benjaminbunny has it in a nutshell. If you want someone else to do the work, maybe you could sell it on, as is, to someone here? If you’re commendably keen to do the right thing, but need help ...

Cheers @Skülly I've started a clean up, tempted to have a go at doing it myself. Will at least do as much as I'm able to, then make a decision depending on how costly/difficult it's likely to be

Thanks all and thanks for the i.d @benjaminbunny it certainly looks like a silverlight, also has 'Gillott' on the stem. Were they made by Gillott? This is all one big school day for me. Will definitely have an honest restoration done; preserve the history and patina, won't be spraying it purple! Any info on restorers for this type of job? Pref in South London.
