Where can i get an anvil?

My name is My name is Matt Gallagher, I am a 15 year old guy living in Charlotte and I need to find or purchase an anvil. I have alot of experience smithing with my Metalworking instructor in Boy Scouts. I am attempting to make a Gladius (small sword) for a school Latin Club competition as well as a Roman Legionnaire outfit for the same competition. The sword will not be sharpened, i just want to be authentic and make it properly and have it functional for a Gladiatorial demonstration I will be participating in. I just need a sizeable anvil, not too expensive, and a 1000 gram German style cross-peen hammer. Also, i have a pair of tongs, but they are extremely old and rusted, so if you could suggest an alternative I would be most appreciative. I don't have a lot of money, but if necessary I can sc some together. (if anyone would like to loan and/or give me these, i would be EXTREMELY grateful)
