That looks like a replica K3 seat Dom, the F's have a tool compartment at the back. Is it a plastic or metal base?

Looks like steel?

As to value - it's worth what someone will pay for it.

Definitely not an F1 or F2 seat.

It's a plastic base

I was looking at the lines on the rear looked like rust - I guess it might be adhesive from fitting the cover?

Nope definitely not from an F model, that's just glue as you thought Ted
