Refflinghaus Anvils originate in kilograms and millimeters. The conversion from the metric to the imperial system results in the approximate sizes and weights below. Variations of up to 10% in sizes and weights can be expected.
All anvils face and horns are hardened from one end to the other.
Hardy holes are punched, taper slightly, and are relatively smooth inside. Pritchell holes are drilled.
Upper surface of horns are polished and not painted as shown in pictures below.
The most popular anvils (normally stocked) are shown in green. Other sizes and styles can be ordered (25% down payment) with a normal ship time of approximately 90 days for most styles and sizes. Special orders, have a typical ship time of 6 to 12 months. Special order price is subject to fluctuation in the Euro/Dollar exchange rate, and possible additional freight/broker charge unless the anvil is part of a normal anvil shipment which we try to do.
No. 58 (includes side shelf)

*Unlike most new cast anvils made today, Refflinghaus Anvil face hardness compares to the best of the older wrought iron anvils that had a forge welded & water hardened face plate of hot rolled high carbon steel, yet without the potential problem of having the plate come loose.
**Refflinghaus Anvils are cast and made of a proprietary high grade steel known for its toughness and hardening properties. For good information on casting steel compared to steel forging see: http://www.sfsa.org/sfsa/pubs/cvf/ecs.html.
For other information on anvils see: "ANVILS" on my "Dick's Shop Tips Page".
