  1. Ill make sure to put a location in my next thread, new to this site so i need to learn all the do's and dont's. Really appreciate the help tho Stig
  2. Yeah im hoping its a quality anvil, payed 250£ for it. And yeah i think its really cool, especially if it is something special. Thanks!
  3. Hi Frosty, thanks, happy to be here Im located at the top of norway, so might be hard for people to get here Yeah got it today, i dont have any ball bearings, so i did it with a smooth faced hammer. I would guess the rebound, with slack grip (just steering it) is about 90% of the initial height. The ring is really crisp, and as you said, it drops off a little towards the back end and horn, but not much, just a small change in pitch. Seems to me that theres no pitch difference anywhere on the surface, the anvil looks old, but barely used. It was hard to find any markings, but i can see I.NASH, a 1917 i think, and 1 1 6. And i think i see a hook symbol at the bottom? Best regards Stig
  4. Thats fine Daswulf, thanks for answering Yeah i think its a good one, but i have no experience on these, it was sold to me wrongly and unseen as a Peter Wright anvil, just wanted to see if somebody knew anything about these. Been BS for some years now, and actually selling stuff, so im happy, but i got no clue on anvils, ive used some cheap pig-iron thing so this is my first proper anvil.
  5. Hi all Need help identifying my new anvil, and if its a good one, and possibly a price, want to know if i overpayed Just got it today, the only markings i can find is a worn down I.NASH &. i believe it is a Isaac nash and sons anvil, i think i saw 1917 on it, and markings are 1 1 6, i think thats 146 pounds. Its got a beautiful ring to it, and the rebound is great, mimimal pitting, some surface rust, one side is perfect, but the other is a little worn.
