IMO a brass one is better than one with steel wire as it is less likely to damage the surface.

I think this is the best solution judging from the picture you put up @BAD LUCK DUCK you only want to clean the surface leaving as much patina as you can and at most maybe a wipe over with some light oil to preserve it

Oh, the pic got embedded in the quote, see it now.
Some of this is personal pref, obv, but I'd not use any power tools, just wire wool by hand to get the loose rust off and then oil. If it's meant to have a honed edge maybe a whetstone.
I'd want it to be allowed to own it's age and history.

I would suggest giving it a good dose of ACF50 and leave it for a while for it to do it's work and then give it a good rub down with something like a stiff brush to remove loose stuff and then just give it some more of the ACF. If I recall correctly one of the tricks of ACF is that it gets down to the metal and sort of creates a barrier between it and the corrosion.
From the picture it doesn't look bad at all compared to some I have seen. A mate of mine had a German WWI M17 Storm Troopers helmet (with the painted on camouflage) that his old granny had been using as a plant pot in the garden! It was full of holes where the rust had eaten it away. All he did was remove the loose rust and doused it in Kurust then left it alone.

Patina sounds like two gay lesbians...I know you lot have been bandying the word patina about just lately but I don't know what it is and it sounds like another made up gender by the gay LGBT

Bloody cyclists, again. Riding gently through Church Stretton, part of the High Street is partitioned off to encourage social distancing and one way traffic. I was indicating right at the island and halfway across, when 3 lycra louts rode straight across the front of me, causing me to brake to avoid a collision. I followed them for about a hundred metres to the next junction and was undertaken by another one on the road and one on the pavement, both chatting away as if it was ok. Spandex bandits.

Funny you should say that @Tallpaul but i nearly falttened a MAMIL in Church Stretton a few days ago when he was wobbling along whilst texting , when i wound the window down and told him to put the fuckin phone down he gave me a mouthful , they just dont believe the rules apply to them at all , make the twats pay a form of insurance and carry a number plate so we can fine the bellends , make them accountable

On a nice little blast locally on a road that has already had its limit lowered from NSL to 50 having appeared in Bike and Ride magazine, I see some guy has set up with his camera at a slower corner taking pics with a sign up so you can contact him if you want to buy one.
Yeah, that's really sensible - encourage folks to twat around on a public road 800 yards from a village.
That ain't gonna encourage more plod activity, is it?
Ain't these twats ever heard of 'stealth'!

Doc That couldn't be the B6047 Market Harborough to Melton road could it. It's just a cash cow for the Leicestershires finest. Bikers got the blame for lowered speed limit. It was apparently claimed it was the death rate of bikers but that same period 4 times as many cagers killed.

We don't get those but the 'Poor accident record on this bend' indicates a nice technical multiapex cornerWhenever I see those "A road to die for" signs on any road.
I know it'll be fun

Adverts! Man adverts have always been annoying but there are ones on the telly that are not only shite but also so annoying that I find myself unconsciously reaching for things to put through the telly.
Two in particular really get on my wick -
One for some payment system where the person announces that the have it and a bunch of ridiculous twats all go ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh for ages and the other is the Dominos one with a bunch of tossers yodelling. Jeesus are there muppets in this country who actually find those adverts amusing?
