Don't mess with that anvil, it's in lovely shape! I'd round off the damaged edges to a nice smooth curve and use them for fullering. If you have to have a dead sharp edge make a hardy tool with one; however in blademaking a sharp edge will often be the cause of a cold shut that you will regret greatly! Dan post a picture of what the bottom of that anvil looks like and we may be able to help with the make of it.

Jsteiner, Why not just post the images in the IFI Gallery and duplicate the post here? Here is how it is done

Blade forums and the like are 'denied access' sites for a lot of "politically correct, scared of terrorists companies" so please post a picture of your stuff here. Thank you. It is so simple to post here too. Thanks Glenn

the site let me in to read only. best way to ruin a good anvil is to take the advice offered on how to remedy the edges on that site. "Nice grab! Get some hardfacing rod and weld those corners up and she'll be good as new!"
