I Forge Iron

August Refflinghaus Söhne


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Yesterday I was so super lucky to find an August Refflinghaus Söhne anvil of 164 KG (361 lb).

I am pretty stoked about it. I just have one question. In the middle of the makersmark there is a 1. Does anyone know what this means? I have spoken with a couple of people that might knew but without any succes.

I hope someone knows anything about this 1 in the middle of the stamp.

 

Thanks

Alex

That's a great pattern, actually called "Dutch" pattern by S&H.

The number could indicate the fire in which the anvil was forged, but I'm not that deeply into the proceedings at August Refflinghaus yet.

Hurrah!

It seems there is a Dutch pattern anvil! Now I have to stay on the lookout for one.

Great looking anvil btw, and I think the double hardy hole makes production work a breeze, especially since they wont be in the way because they're on the same side.

Thanks Jobtiel1 en Jullianb,

Rebound test turned out great, I would say 85/90% maybe just a little bit higher. Sounds like a bell. 
 

I found a “1” on the foot also, straight below the horn. I will make better pictures of that later.

 

Thanks.
