I'd suggest taking it to a professional for repair: it sounds like that is your intention.
Neither are major repairs. Done well/professionally, it could look like new.
The first step would be rehydration. Then gluing and reinforcing the cracks/braces. If finish touch-up is required, that next. Including finish work, probably a few hundred dollars.
No pen blanks are necessary. Minimize shipping, particularly at this time of year.
