"New" used Martin

I picked up a used (vintage) Martin Sax for a beginner and would like some information. The etching says "The Martin" Indiana, Elkhart - Ind In the Serial number area - RMC 85xxx None of the rods or pins appear to be bent and all of the keys appear to cover their holes properly. There are only a few minor dents and it looks like the bottom neckstrap ring is missing (this is the only thing that I can figure goes here) My one concern is that there appears to be some rusting in some areas and a bit inside the bell. Is this going to cause major problems? What can you tell me about this sax in general and is it worth having reconditioned (no relacquering or heavy polishing)
