I can't help you out, but don't go to the GANDOLFI website unless you have virus protection.

Its a straightforward Gandolfi Precision 10" x 8" with a 5" x 4" Reducing Back. I have the same model and backs myself. As far as I can tell most were probably made in the 1940s/50s/60s and many were worked hard. Yours has had the front lens hole enlarged at some point and badly, as many were. Camera Bellows can supply new bellows, sometimes from stock as they made the originals and have the pattern on file. I don't think that valuations are allowed here? But a search through ebay's finalised/sold listings might help you. Prices can be a bit all over the place though.
