Advice on Interesting Blackletter/Gothic?

I'm getting ready to 'clean up' and create a vector version of this clothing retailer's logo, which seems to have been a custom calligraphy effort done some time ago. As you can see from this scan from their business card, it suffers from years of reproduction and bleeding.

I suppose what I'd like to know from you knowledgeable folks is what I should be careful with when tidying this up. I'm also curious about this style... the 'E' and 'A' are curious, and the 'S' seems unusual. Thoughts?
