Great score Leo!

I probably wouldn't do anything to "clean" it up till you've used it some with a couple caveats:

First, the chip in the edge doesn't have any loose parts, those I'd grind out and radius the edge.

Second, I would only dress the horn if the cuts are bad enough to mark the work.

Once you've been at this a while and have a better idea of what's needed and what you want, cleaning up the anvil will be less risky. (for the anvil)

Welcome aboard.
