ok so from the title i have M&H Armitage Mouse Hole Anvil and i would to repair and fix it up.
i just have some questions on fixing it up.
since it was made around 1820 and 1835 would it have a harden steel plate on it?
would welding on it ruin the temper, and harden face if it has one?
what would be your recommended rod to use for welding?
some other questions later on.
i will not be working on this until i know what i need, what i need to do, and how to do it without ruining it.
