So long as it is LP, a Buffet, and needs only "standard" type repairs (pads, corks, and springs), I'd say it's worth restoring.

The wrap around octave key is unrelated to the Albert system. Many Albert system horns were produced without it and many Boehms were produced with it. Nor was it unique to Buffet. It was simply a popular design during some eras. It came and went a couple of times. From tracking serial numbers on horns I see offered on eBay, the last time it went out of style was in the 1930s sometime.
