Frosty Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Cast. The PFP in a rectangular border is proud of the surface, (sticks up instead of stamped into it) is a strong indicator of being cast. I have no idea of who made or sold it. Have you done a rebound test on it to determine the face's hardness? 34kg is pretty light though it would be okay for a travel anvil and light to moderate forging. Frosty The Lucky.

Frosty Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Thank you Wicon. A closed die forging sure can form characters proud of the surface, JUST like that. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julianb Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Interesting to see this pattern on a PFP anvil. You can clearly see the ground off flash residue below the horn, which also makes it identifiable as drop forged. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
