AlexDegens Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julianb Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 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!

Jobtiel1 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 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. ~Jobtiel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexDegens Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
