Violin Edge Repair and Replacement - Adding New Wood and Matching Varnish

Violin family instruments sometimes get their edges damaged. A new piece of wood can be added and then reshaped and the varnish can be matched.

Here is an edge with several steps.

Here is another edge replacement. Oops I forgot to take a photo that showed the original damage.

I have an old violin purchased in Austria. I believe the date of manufacture was 1877. Tragically the instrument was manhandled by a youngster. The bridge is lost and the bow needs restringing. The handle must be glued to the body.
Would you provide the repair service?
This instrument is intended as a keepsake. We are not violinists.
