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
