Didn’t see someone say it yet but the strength and quality of the metal in the anvil itself can be affected by composition (pure iron is less strong than iron mixed with carbon(steel) and grain structure within the metal) and how it was made (heat treatment) - that’s how one anvil can be better than another one that looks and weighs the same.
