Dennis Dieckman cue info/value

I am looking for info or a source to help me understand the value and uniqueness of what I have. I acquired a Dennis Dieckman custom made in 1993 from an acquaintance that studied under Dennis and passed a couple years ago. Where would I begin on value? I am planning to keep it as it was a friends personal cue set. You can feel the inlays and rings through the finish. There is a crack on the purple heart shaft ring only on 2 shafts, not the wood just the ring. Nice inlays on one shaft. Should I leave it alone since Dennis passed away, or seek to have it refinished?? Would it lose value if I have it refinished? Can the signatures be saved if it was refinished?
