griffinforge Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Recently purchased this 80kg Austrian anvil in almost perfect condition. The rebound and ring are amazing. Next step is to find out approximately how old it is based on the serial #41558. Anyone with any insight please feel free to chime in.

Tubalcain2 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 that is a SWEET anvil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfudd Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Very Nice Anvil. Without knowing the maker it would be really hard to determine the age of the anvil or its date of manufacture. It is a cast steel anvil which narrows it quite a bit and looking at the weight stamp impression I would guess Kohlswa or a similar manufacturer but that is only a guess. My Soderfors Austrian(bohemian) anvil was cast too but there is no serial number on it. Hopefully someone across the pond might know more?

matei campan Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Are there some markings on the front side? Could you provide a close up picture? The pattern is Austrian, but it could be manufactured in a different country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedblacksmith Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 It looks to be a "jeb" European manufacturing anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffinforge Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 It's not a JEB anvil I'm pretty sure, the feet have a wider stance than that style anvil, in the second picture is the serial number stamped on the side 41558.

hans138 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 this is the anvil type I dream of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 There seems to be a discrepancy in the information supplied above. It is stated that the anvil weighs 80 kilograms. Then a weigh scale displays the anvil weighing in at 573 pounds. This information does not add up. A kilogram weighs 2.204 pounds. Therefor 80 kilograms should weigh 177.20 pounds not 573 pounds. Does the 80 mark on the anvil denote something else rather than weight? Or is the scale in error? Does only 'her' hairdresser know for sure? Seriously now, I earnestly await further developments.
