Very good for the money. This anvil needed some “finishing off”, the casting lines on the horn, the general shape of the horn & all around the edges, I removed the coating & brought it into shape with a sanding flap disc on a grinder, then finished off with some large files. I wanted the coating off all of the main surfaces & all the edges & right angles. This was an easy job & left me with an anvil that is perfect for my own personal use. Now I just need to find or make a stand.
