I picked it up for $15 and can't wait to start working on it. The rust looks like it may be mostly superficial but we'll have to see when I start working on it.
Here are some better pictures (it's a JR Torrey btw)...

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and hope the blade holds up.
You could do some really outstanding stuff with that blade.
Good luck and keep us posted!

The patient is in stable but critical condition. After 400grit using my vibrating sander, most the damage is gone so it was mostly superficial (and the remaining black spots are not that deep). Looks like I may have rescued this one just in time...
