Hi,

I was testing a Kanstul 700 last saturday and it was in great shape.
Only one ding near the bell logo...

...and this spot on the leadpipe:



Is this red-rot?
I ask because the shape is correct but not the color. It's not pink.

Here is a close-up:


If it's not red-rot, what is it?

Thank you!

Damage of lacquer, only a spot where the lacquer is gone, no redrot

I agree, this is not red rot.

Dry the lead pipe with a swab. Look down it from the receiver. If there is a crater that corresponds with the missing lacquer, then it is red rot. If it is smooth in that spot, then it is not.
