Hello,
i just bought my first anvil, it have beautiful rebound, but very deep scratches on surface, what do you guys think, should i'll try to grind it or leave it this way? I will using it for bladesmithing and historical replicas (fire strikers, small axes, chest hinges etc.).
Also can anyone tell me something about this anvil? I find online, that these shapes of anvil are south german or austrian origin and can be even from XIX century?
