Definitely not Gibson... most likely not even American. Very reminiscent of some European luthiers.
I've never seen Gibson use that body shape, truss rod cover, or logo.
Looks like someone tried to make it a lefty at one point?

By the looks of it, repair isn't the word you ought to use... maybe "ressurect."
That guitars dead, man... dead. Let it go. hahaha...

I've got to agree with Michael on this one SHAYNUS90.
If you were able to successfully ressurect this guitar, it would never be worth the time, materials and parts you would need to put in it. Between the chunk of wood missing in the pickup cavity and the holes drilled in the top bout, the top is ruined. That broken piece off the headstock is also a problem if it is missing.
If you wanted to just practice gluing an archtop back together, you could do that, but this guitar would need to occupy your work bench for a long time.
If you want to repair a guitar, I would suggest spending your time on something that you would like to play or might have value once you finish.
In my opinion, this guitar is destined to keep you warm on a cold winter night
