Thank you very much for all your information! I will keep looking and try and get something heavier

I see, thank you for the information! And sorry I forgot to mention the weight which would be 20kg/44lbs Thanks

Hi, I am new to blacksmithing and I have been looking for an anvil to get and it is proving to be difficult. However I have just came across this anvil selling for £200 and I was hoping someone could inform on if it would be a good anvil to purchase and what exactly the markings mean. It seems to have a "57" with an arrow pointing up and "John Brooks 1940" and after some research on here it seems like that is a good brand of anvil. Thank you in advance.
