enriqx Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Hi, I bought a anvil here in Vietnam, it appears to be a vulcan with characteristic chipping seen in other vulcans, so probably it's real, I'm wondering if it's pre or from the Vietnam war era. See the pictures an comment. I paid about 80 dollars. I'm planing in taking it to my country when I finish my Assignment here in several years time. I don't do much forging. Any comment a bout possible history of this piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadapples Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 My guess, being that while in Uncle Sugar's Big Green Machine, I got to see a few anvils that were Army procured your anvil was left there when the US pulled out, or was part of a shop set of tools that was issued to the South Vietnamese Army. Most of the old welding/ machinist shop sets the US Army used had a very similar anvil. (at least from the 80s-90s- those sets really didn't change much from the Viet Nam era until the late 90's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
