This anvil has no markings that we could find - 

Length : 680mm

Face : L  410mm  W 120mm

Height : 320mm

Hardie : 32mm

pitchel : 19mm

Any help would be appreciated 

Have you tried the ring and rebound tests?

Used a 300g engineering hammer and taped the anvil lightly and it bounced back to the same height with a distinctive ring.

Looks like a cast iron fake.

Hope you didn't pay much.

Nope a fried gave it to me!!

If it had a ring to it, it sounds more like cast steel than cast iron. It does look cast tho. 

I've had people not familiar with anvils give me misleading reports on ring before as they had no experience to judge it by.

The bounce is positive; but the ball bearing test will give an objective reading.

Also  LOCATION; If I asked you to help identify a banged up used car; would your choices differ depending on what country it's in?  Very unusual to see a Lada in the USA and fairly unusual to see a Ford in Russia for example.

Anyway if it reads over 70% on the ball bearing test USE IT and be happy!

Looks like a John Brooks to me. Definitely not a cast iron fake!!!!!!!

JB's are good cast *steel* anvils; more prone to find them in the UK and Australia; but they did travel some.

I also have a KL anvil and the ring is the same !!But I will do the ball bearing test .

Thanx to all for info.

Pretty poor snagging for a Brooks no?
