A good sand blasting will take off most of the rust but some wouldn't even worry about that as the rust won't necessarily hurt anything and once you get some hot iron and start beating on it the rust will go away fast. No sense in painting or doing anything to the anvil for coatings, it won't last under the beating it is intended to take. The face of the anvil looks to be in very good shape overall, has some slight rough edges that I see but overall in good shape. ![]() There are some dings in the horn on it but a good grind will take care of that just fine.
