Offered here is a 185 lb Peddinghaus anvil, one of the most respected modern forging anvils ever produced. This particular example shares the same pattern as the renowned anvil used by blacksmith Rojer Smith, whose outstanding work over many years has demonstrated the versatility and performance of this compact yet exceptionally robust design.

Measuring approximately 25.625″ long, 10.25″ tall, and 5.25″ wide, this anvil packs substantial mass into a remarkably efficient footprint. The concentrated weight beneath the working face provides excellent rebound and forging efficiency, making it equally suitable for professional smiths and serious hobbyists.

Notably, this anvil appears to have seen little to no actual forging use. The face, edges, and working surfaces remain in excellent condition. At some point, however, a previous owner managed to decorate portions of the anvil with weld spatter. While cosmetically unfortunate, these blemishes do not affect the anvil’s performance or functionality in any way.

Whether you’re looking for a premium forging anvil, upgrading your current shop setup, or adding a sought-after Peddinghaus to your collection, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a high-quality German-made anvil with decades of service ahead of it.
