There is an anvil in the Prillwitz Collection are estimated to be from the 1500's
Do not know how it is dated. Mod note: LInk removed as per Jock demands
The fronthole is more of a cavity so inside it possible to see that it is made as it is and not bulked up.
It has a really "handmade look" so it is not made under a powerhammer not even trued up with a flatter or similar tool.
It could be as early as 1600 or much later
B) It belongs to Me and are used for small work on renfairs and demos.
The entire face and and upper side of the horn is a patchwork of steel of good quality.
The small hardiehole indicates that it is later than viking period but You never know for sure :)
My NOHAB are stamped with the weight in the same way as the name are.
They used to be cast upside down with a plate of steel in the bottom of the form.

True !
I only have about 12 of them...
Started with a 127kg that was a bit heavy to take to the rennfairs, so I bought a 50kgs. Then I heard that Kohlswa wouldnt continue with their C51 (48kgs) so...
:D
