   Just looking for any opinion as to what can be done. Looks like rust. Could just be plain corrosion.

   Looks like someone cracked his skull open, and his brains leaked out.

   I've seen some rusty Buffs, but not quite that bad. That one looks like it was dipped in acid or buried for a long time.

    Any picture?... it would help. Try Acetone (pure) first..... another good trick is to insert it into a raw potato... let it set for a day and then rinse with alcohol. Have no idea what it is - a picture would help. Cheers, RickO
