Pitfall

Hello friends,can someone tell me the brand please,is a 34 kgs anvil,it is cast ? it is forged ? ,thanks in advance

Thanks both for your help,excuse me sir,what could happen after using it for a year ?,I mean,the hardened surface can deteriorate through time due the damage in the edges? Thanks.

Hello friends, finally got an anvil but I have a lot of questions as a new on blacksmithing About the damage in the edges of that face, is this something that should be repaired ? can I work normally? or the face must be flat and smooth ? Or simply ignore no matter the shape ? I've been reading in this forum that there a hardened area in the top of the anvil,how can I know if my anvil is still harded or not? Also, if anyone has any info about the anvil,as you can see in the images only a few words are visible but I cant identify the brand. Thanks
