Francisco Alfonso

Thanks Neil, you are right. But having a girlfriend and not knowing her name... I know that's not important but I would be excited. I want to restore "miss Piggy" (I think she's going to stay that way) and give her the use she deserves when she moves me into my new house. I feel like getting a new knife, because I don't have any at the moment. My friends are happy. There is a saying in Spain that says: "In the blacksmith's house, a wooden knife" PS: thanks for the name

Thank you very much, I am glad to know that you have been on your honeymoon in "my land" Yes, I hope that someone, due to the shape of the logo, can provide information.

Thanks guys, I was not wrong in choosing this forum. It's a pleasure to be with you. I have looked through thousands of photos before asking for help but I have not found anything. The friend who gave it to me knows nothing about forging. However, I am excited to know the origin and age of it. My other anvil doesn't have any markings, but I know it's cast and weighs about 35 kilos (77 lbs.) I got it inside a water gallery (tunnel from which water is extracted). It is appreciated that some people know Spanish, so if there is a technical word that does not have a translation, it is much easier. Greetings and thanks

The anvil weighs about 100 kilos (220 pounds). I have to finish cleaning it to see if there are any marks that I didn't see. Forgive my bad English, I use an online translator.

Hello everyone. My name is Francisco and I am from the Canary Islands (Spain) I have been forging knives for about 30 years, but not full time. I just bought a new "piggy" that a friend of mine gave me and I don't know its brand and origin. Does anyone know this type of anvil? The letters of the logo do not look good and the marks are what you see. Thank you
