Soak it in distilled water for a couple days, and see if it is helping, If you need something a little stronger. Soak it in olive oil. Always...
Ah the infamous missing "rust".
The reason I said G-08 there is that there is rim rim seperation. G6 and lower there is usually no rim separation. This one still has descent rim...
