Vintage Antique Wrought Iron 24" Boat Ship Nautical Admirality Anchor

Description

Vintage Antique 24" Long  Boat or small ship Anchor.  48" long overall with the stock.
This design is known as an Admiralty or Fisherman Anchor invented by the British in 1846 with the addition of the iron stock.
This anchor was found off of Long Beach, CA over 40 years ago
The anchor is 15" wide at the flukes with a  24" long  shaft plus the original ring and clevis.  Flukes are 3 1/2" wide x 4 1/2" long.   There is a 24" stock leaning bar which  has the purpose to cause the anchor fluke to dig into the bottom of the seabed
Overall weight is about 7 1/2 lbs.
The anchor has not be cleaned and has original patina as found.  If there are markings I cant see them.   My guess is from the 1800's, possibly hand forged but I'm not an anchor expert.  If anyone has knowledge please advise.
