That’s a good point.

Consider getting it rechromed, then it'll be ready for another 60 years of service.

I’d go for nickel plating. Looks just a little more refined than chrome to me.

While I do agree that nickel is a finer finish, replating in nickel while it is embossed as "chrome steel" would be so disordered in my brain!
If OP doesn't have pendant issues they should totally do that though :)

Chrome steel here doesn’t refer to the plating, it refers to the alloy - chrome is added to the steel itself to improve corrosion resistance

You're comment here, of information I already knew, has no impact or alteration for my personal opposition to nickel plating in this scenario.

get all the rust off. then take a magnify glass and just look it over to make sure all the rust is off
a lot of food vendors in india make food products sometimes with rusty stuff.... gets ppl very sick. then someone attacks their food stall etc.

Rust doesn’t make people sick, it might taste bad but it won’t do anything more than that if eaten

This is correct. Rust does not cause illness. Bacteria cause illness.

It ain't the rust.

does the rust contribute in anyway to the lockjaw?

Rust is just good dietary iron.
