Hi John.
To me the markings look like "SOLID WROUGHT" written in a circular
pattern. This type of marking was used by various manufacturers so, I
believe, is not conclusive evidence of a particular maker, although the
most common would be Peter Wright.
Where was the weight marked on the anvil? Where the numerals close
together or spaced further apart across the anvil?
How many handling holes are there? What are their shapes and location?
I'm of course not speaking of the hardie or pritchel holes.
Can you describe the shape of the feet? Especially if there's a flat
surface across the the top front and top rear feet.
Can you post more photos if needed?
