Well, I am home after a hectic week in Germany.
The show was not as good as usual, for one, they moved
the show to the opposite halls, so it was quite
confusing for everyone trying to find dealers stands.
Meteorite-wise, it was the worst show I have ever seen
in Munich.
Moritz Karl had amazing pieces of historic falls.
Erich Haiderer had his usual eclectic mix of goodies
and moon rocks mixed in the same boxes with chondrites
and crystals, it is like a thrift shop!
Chladni's Heirs had a nice display, their first. Many
beautifully prepared specimens and their new lunar
meteorites! Not bad.
Ali Hmani has very few meteorites this year, but one
in particular cuaght my eye! More on that one as soon
as it arrives in Tucson, it was a tad too heavy to
carry home in my baggage.................

Dean was there, with some nice pieces to my surprise!

Gibeon was non-existant! There was maybe 5 pieces
there in total.
Sikhote-Alin again, was virtually non-existent.

Hans Koser had an even split between Campos and
Muonionalusta, one of which weighed over 230 kilograms
and sold to a Swedish museum!

Anyway, it was a good time, and I hope to attend again
next year.
