Thanked: 735Fuzzy crapshoot
I just won this Tally Ho...
It could be OK, it could be trash.....I'm banking on the fact that it is a heavy grind Sheffield so I'll have plenty of steel to be able to sand down,etc, even if it is in tough shape.
$12.67? Worth a shot!

Good God and I thought I was bad with cameras! The only negative thing I could see was some wear on the toe and spine, hopefully you are right and there is plenty of metal to work with, if all is well, not a bad buy!

Fuzzy crapshoot
The color of the rust looks like it is light surface rust & not thick scaly rust that leaves deep pit marks.

Well worth a shot at that price.
I have one screaming for a resto but I'm a lousy payer so I always put my stuff last.“The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”

Thanked: 953dude, with your creativity, you might as well order a hand saw, and grind it down to a meat chopper with no hone wear.
but that one looks fun to play with.

Good for you. I really wanted that Tally Ho, but I just could not swing it. I had just landed my first W&B and I'm not looking forward to explaining that to the little lady.
Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Thanked: 735Looks pretty good in person. Mostly surface tarnish, some pitting, but not that bad, just enough to add "character".
Nice wedge with smile.
This is going to be transformed into something else...
