Right now, in the For Sale forum, Jason Peck is selling a 30" 12 ga.Sterlingworth ejector pin gun for an asking price of $850.00. He says the condition is good and the lever is well right of center. The bores are shiny, and bore diameters are under nominal 12 ga. size.
So you can ask all the experts here what it would cost to find and buy a replacement rib (If you can find one).... remove and relay it, and then refinish the barrels.... buy and replace the rotary bolt, and probably still need to TIG weld and refit the rib extension... plus shipping if you don't have a competent local double gun gunsmith nearby.
I'm betting the initial cost of the Sterlingworth you are considering, and the necessary work, parts and labor, will set you back a lot more than buying one that's ready to go,
That sounds like a no-brainer to me. Ill definitely check that out.
