605 pound North German style double horn. This anvil has excellent rebound with a near glass smooth face. The edges do have some chips. This anvil have some repairs in the past with nickel rod. The repaired areas do appear to be done professionally and have held up very well. The feet under the horn have been shaved off a little bit with a cutting torch in the past, I imagine so it would fit a certain anvil stand. See pictures. No manufactures stamps that I could find. It appears this could be a cast steel anvil much like a S&S or a Swedish made anvil.
