I am looking for information about Cavalry Pack Forges. I have one in exceptionally good condition and am wondering when in history and where they were actually used. It is a really neat idea and surprisingly large in size, yet originally it all fit into its own closing and locking box to transport. Mine has had the legs extended with riveted sections and will no longer fit into itself. Otherwise it is pretty original. It has been years since I have had a fire in it, and When it got it, it was lined with fire clay (ditch clay) which is how I used it as well. It kept the sheet metal in pretty good condition. It weighs 110# to carry. Just a neat forge. Please ignore the roto-phase converter in the video background.
