I 'm a pessimist when it comes to trades or deals. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. You might not like what you see. I would want to see, at least, pictures of the anvil. It would be best to see it in person, to see what you are getting. It might be terribly chipped, uneven surfaces, horn tip broken, etc. As mentioned above, that is an unusually big anvil that might have been used hard and put away wet. However, if it is in good shape, you are a fortunate person to find a once in a life time anvil that you will enjoy your entire life. Good luck.
