Got the anvil at home. If the seller told me it was a new anvil i would believe that. It's in a amazing state.
And because of that,iam getting very curious about how old the anvil is. Anyone at this forum that could put me in the right direction?

Thank's for your replay Latticino. I thought it was in good shape. No big concerns about that. ( made a downpayement unseen) I just would know how old it is,and by the cm's the weight +-. It's confusing because of the stamp (pfp , original pfp, fire welded , electric welded) and that kind of things.
The stake anvil lookst great,but that's because it was done by a "flapdisc?"The top is pretty round not straight and flat. But i don't use it for that part.

Hello. I take my first post to introduce myself and to make the first question.
Iam
Derk Jan. From the Netherlands (Holland)I do visit this site a lot because iam, willing to do some iron forging. Like knives etc etc. Small
stuff. I came across this forum and i must say i was blown away by al the info that is on it. It will help me a lot with al the questions i have. In the Netherlands there are some blacksmiths but because it's a small country the info is limited. This is why i decided to make a account on iforgeiron.The first question is....
I bought a anvil. It's a peddinghaus?. I think about 100kg?? more or less. It looks oke. But i would like to know how old it is? I try to get some photo's in this post,taken from Marktplaats (like the Dutch craigslist eBay) I don't have the anvil at home yet,can't take more pictures right now. You do like to say how it's pay'd by Dollar to the lbs. I pay'd 2 euro's a KG. Good deal i think,even in the Netherlands. I know there is some good knowledge on anvils here,so i hope to get some answers. Iam just curious. On top the first anvil i own. For a couple of years know. Not in the best shape but i use the round horn to make twostroke exhaust.
I hope to be around for a long time on this forum and get info and show my first steps in forging iron. I will do my best to make my posts as good as i can in your language. But forgive me if i make some mistakes...

Aah oke. Thanx. (bedankt ;-) )
Makes you wonder why someone bought a anvil in the 50's and hardly used it. Not something you'd by every day..
