<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 150220, member: 25&quot;]Ship surveyers use an ultrasonic tool to measure rust thickness on steel ships. The technology may not be transferable as the measuremet also includes the thickness of the remaining steel.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, it looks pretty good to me, the amount of fine detail such as the cypher and the War Office broad arrow makes me think the rust is mainly superfical.</p><p>It is hard to say what a retail price is unless there are others to compare it with. Once you have it you set the retail price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some areas such as one trunnion appear much more eroded, it may have sat somewhere damp for a long time.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are in two minds I&#039;d make an offer and walk away. It&#039;s up to them at that point. A wad of cash can have a better effect than a check. Make the wad 20s instead of hundreds, it looks like more money even to people who know it is not. The old monkey brain still says more is better[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
