Hi Dave, BL-owners and List,

Welcome to the BL-Club :-) Your description says it all! Congrats
on this breathtaking specimen. I wanted to buy this one because of
its relatively low weight (which saves money) but "didn't like the
horizontal scar". Oh, well ...

They are meteorites without a pedigree ... but does beauty need
a pedigree? They are meteorites. They have come from the same
places as their "decent" brethren w i t h a pedigree! My two
Euro-cents!

Best regards,

Bernd (BL #18)
