JimDawdy Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Looks Russian. http://www.anvilfire.com/21centbs/products/ru_anvil/index.php I bought a brand new cast steel anvil on ebay.com.au. It arrived during this week and I just finished making a stand out of 8"x2". It has a very nice ring. The hardy hole is 22mm and the pritchel hole is 20 mm cast through. I had to strip the paint off the beak which I did with a flap disk in my baby grinder. I am very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichudov Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Looks like a cute fat girl. If the anvil has a good ring, it is pretty much a great anvil. Ringing means that anvil is not easily absorbing impact energy, so that more energy is delivered to the work, instead of being wasted in anvil. i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Not sure if accurate- my fisher is very quiet and also consider very good quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francesco Muci Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 This post is old as heck but I am gonna try and throw it there. I have the same anvil in Italy. 100kg (225lbs) and the rebound is about 90%. The surface of mine doesn't get dinged that easily. 52 hrc is about the hardness of a leaf spring so it is pretty good for an anvil. Now, it looks like the hardness is a hit-or-miss on this anvils as a friend of mine bought one, 50kg and looks like it's softer. It gets dinged easily but don't know about the rebound bc he didn't have a ball bearing. Now, I found an ebay seller in southern california that had them up to 50kg but I am really trying to find the 225 pounder since I really love mine back in Italy. Anyone has any other infos? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
