Hello lads,
I have had an anvil given to me by a farrier friend and it's in Rough shape, I want to have it refaced and reheat tested and tempered. Contacted a local heat treating outfit but I'm not sure what to tell them in regards to what kind of steel it is(they asked me to be specific and I don't even know what I have here)
Only identifying marks are the stone weights it looks like 1 21 26' so I am assuming 1 2 26 since I was told it was 180lb anvil so 1 2 26 being 184 I assume that's the middle number is a two. That all being said it looks like a peter wright but the only other marks I could find after grinding with wire brush attachments etc(did this to my sodefers to find out what that one was) was what looks like a c on the base under the horn and a circular something on the base on the side with the hardy.
Anyone seen this or know what's it is and what would be made of? Will post pics.
Thanks
Rob
As you can see she is in rough shape but still has good rebound and no cracks as she still rings like a bell. Kinda tough to make tongs with out a sharp corner
Not sure why all my pics are upside down but sometimes the ol iPad gets a little goofy.
