Frosty Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It sure could be flash from closed die forging and my Soderfors has some cast letters standing proud and others stamped in and it's as cast an anvil as they get.Frosty The Lucky.

SJS Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I would suspect that the little bricks effect was how they cut the shear steel for the face. Kinda like a mosaic pattern Damascus. When you are making shear steel you stack a fat bundle of blistered/case hardened bars, and then weld them up into a solid mass. I would suspect that they sliced 1" thick slabs and used them to weld to the face. Fun stuff. Matei your anvil is LOVELY, just flatout lovely...
