Roman nail making anvil, Made to order, Jewelers anvil, Full size replica, dating before 4th century AD
A small Roman nail making anvil found at the Saalburg citadel on the Roman defense wall near Homburg von der Hohe, Germany, and is now on exhibition at the Museum there.
Anvil-wedge with square top, nail hole, and side cavity for nail discharge.
These types of anvil were usually fastened/sank in the stump, that's why they are usually referred to the stump anvils.
Because of their weight and size, they were presumably used by traveling craftsmen, army, or in small villas workshops for repairs and small forge work.
I decided to make custom listings for tools that I haven't tried making yet but I would love to.
These listing are more or less support, so I can make tools that are not so common and are really unique.
I will discuss materials, finishes, dimensions with you, a customer, but the main idea is:
Forged anvil from modern mono-steel like 42CrMo4. Heat-treated with a forged finish and a satin-finished working face.
Can be made with a wrought iron body with forge-welded carbon steel for the face. All cleaned up and then etched to bring out the patterns. (It can be fire etched or normal etched)
The price for such material will be much higher (expect twice as much) as much more labor and expensive materials go into making.
Dimensions will be scaled according to the weight 1kg, 2kg or 3kg, can be made as a total replica in size to if you want.
It is custom work so 1-3 months waiting to complete should be expected
I can make replicas of bars with different holes for nail-making as well just ask me about it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
