Thank you all for very good information!

I will try the method Master Bible has put forth. I think a large sledge hammer head will do nicely as an anvil, and I will fashion an old punch as a peen-er thingy...perhaps cut a V into the face so that it will mimic the peen marks on the other links.
To do it correctly, I will need someone to steady the anvil.

I think I have a small jewelry vise somewhere I can use to set the link.

Yeah, Should work, will let you know!
