German Anvil Collection

Generally I`m not a friend of grinding an anvil. Old anvils should be cleaned with a brush, oiled and at the most slightly polished if there is much rust on the top. Maybe in the future it could be useful to grind and polish a small area a little more, so that you have a place to straighten something. If you are interested in anvils, you can look at my private anvil collection www.german-anvil.de (Peddinghaus, Soeding & Halbach, church window anvils and many more). Peter from germany.

Hi, from my point of view, the Peddinghaus anvils are the best. If you look at my website www.german-anvil.com (private anvil collection), you can see three very rare hand-forged Peddinghaus anvils and how they are stemped (weight, PFP, II for factory two) and also drop-forged smaller once stamped "ORIGINAL PFP" or only "PFP". Having some time you can also look at the other anvils. Peter from germany.

Thank you all, yes you are right a Refflinghaus is still missing, but I have no room any more:)

Hi everybody, maybe some of you are anvil fanatics like me, so check out my private german anvil collection: www.german-anvil.com Here you can find high quality anvils of different famous manufacturers like Peddinghaus (my favourite manufacturer, especially the very rare hand-forged bigger anvils), Söding & Halbach and many others. For example the 836lbs anvil has got numbers on it, which shows, that the different parts of the anvil where stamped before they had been forge welded together to form such an amazing anvil. I think that you can find more than enough aspects to talk about. I hope you will enjoy the photos, Peter from germany.
