Bojan and JA, what a great discussion, and such cool ideas for fixing damaged lens bodies.
I'm undecided where to go from here. As Jove said, the optics of the lens are going to be pretty poor when compared to modern glass, and with the damaged body (which I doubt I could repair) there will always be optical distortions.
Just thinking about it, if you need a 'crash test dummy' for your magic tool, Bojan, I don't mind offering this lens for you to test it on.
Cheers,
V
