Anchor age ID?

[SADS 669]

Anyone got an idea of the age of this anchor I will post better photos next time I go to it, sadly ( only from a wreck point of view, good for the crew though) the chain points to deep, safe water.

I would roughly guess it's after 1850. Before that ships would normally use rope instead of anchor chain. But that's just my guess.
