The Outcast Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hi All, New to the site and about to try my hand at moving steel. I live in central France and just acquired this anvil. It has a few markings on it but haven't been able to find anything out about it and was hoping someone here may be able to help. it has the numbers 57221 on the front as well as No3. There is also 120k which should be the weight ie 120kg. And probably has the numbers 150 and 53 underneath as well. There might be some other markings but if so they are very faint, though I've only done a basic clean up so far. Really looking forward to starting in this hobby (for me) and praying my tendonitis doesn't flare up! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Is there a French Blacksmithing group that may have more information on anvils in France? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Welcome from the Ozark mountains U.S.A. Great looking anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Outcast Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 Thanks for the welcome! Apart from a little edge damage it seems very clean, has a loud ring and great rebound (using a ball bearing). The stump must weigh 100lb at least and it came with six hardy tools so well pleased. There are a couple of french blacksmithing forums that I'm waiting on joining so will ask there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
