Terrific piece. I have seen quite a few over the years, and Mark's valuation is right on. The market is a bit soft currently, and that bat is a bigger deal to collectors than you think. I would look in your area for a silversmith who could bend it back. If it costs $50-$100 you will come out waaaaaaaay ahead upon resale. DO NOT try it yourself. Such a repair is perfectly acceptable and you would not need to disclose it IMO.
