Offered here is a substantial 572 lb North German Double Horn Anvil, a classic example of the heavy-duty forging tools that made German anvils famous among blacksmiths, farriers, and industrial metalworkers around the world. Built in an earlier era when anvils were engineered to withstand decades of hard use, this impressive anvil remains a highly capable working tool with exceptional performance characteristics.
Featuring the traditional North German double horn design, this anvil provides tremendous versatility for drawing, bending, shaping, and forming steel. The dual horns allow smiths to work a wide range of curves and profiles, making it an excellent choice for everything from architectural ironwork to large-scale fabrication projects.
Despite its age and honest surface wear, this anvil retains good edges, an excellent ring, and outstanding rebound, delivering the responsive forging surface that serious blacksmiths demand. The face remains highly functional, with a 1/16-inch top plate saddle, a common condition found on vintage working anvils that does not diminish its usefulness in the shop.
This is not a decorative piece—it is a serious forging anvil built to perform. The combination of tremendous mass, excellent rebound, and classic German design makes it an ideal choice for smiths who value function, durability, and historical craftsmanship.
The wear visible on the face tells the story of an anvil that has spent its life doing exactly what it was built to do. Today, it remains ready for many more years of productive service in the hands of a skilled craftsman.
Large North German double horn anvils are becoming increasingly scarce, particularly examples with strong rebound and sound working surfaces. Whether you’re expanding a professional forge or adding a significant piece to an anvil collection, this 572 lb German anvil represents a rare opportunity to own a substantial piece of blacksmithing history.
