How rough does patina have to be to become rust?  Roll Eyes

Depends on the seller BobZ and how honest a fellow he wants to be. I would assume if a BB wouldn't roll out of the pits it would beyond the Patina stag and at least it could then be easily be ruled out Ehh!

Active rust - red, powdery - should never be called "patina" and should be removed.  Alcohol or acetone on a Q-tip or a cotton ball is an excellent remover and doesn't endanger the metal.  But do be careful of the wood.
