You can also ask for a tidy up and hone service
in contrast to a full restore.
Both razors look promising and someone with the right tools
could buff off the rust and hone them up in short order
for only a bit more than just honing. A lot depends on how
busy the individual is.
The scales look very serviceable to me. For the most
part "shave ready" applies to the edge and little more.
For a shaver you do need to remove the rust and crud
for sanitary reasons and if needed tighten the scales a
little bit then hone to a good edge.
If you find a well honed blade in the Classified
and a decent strop for less than a restore. Consider that
as a first step.
Do see the beginner pages in the WiKi.

You will need more than just a shave ready razor when
all is said and done.
As "guigi" said... "they look promising." but there is no knowing
until they have been cleaned up and honed correctly. Cracks
and deep pits on the sharp edge can wreck a blade for shaving.
