rigid peddinghaus / nimba anvil

[gny22]

I am looking at purchasing a new anvil and have been looking at the rigid peddinghaus anvil and the nimba centurion. I have called several times and talked to Jim. I know he is a 1 man operation so the wait time for a centurion is unknown. Does anyone have or use the rigid 275 lb. anvil? Is the rigid a good quality anvil for the price compared to the nimba?

Thanks

Either one is very good. I forged on them both but dont own either.
Offhand, I dunno what they cost nowdays. At least either is well north of 1000$

Fwiw. I prefer the strong German style of the 'Pedd.

I have a nimba centurion. Not everyone likes the wide face. I prefer it
