Hello list, Hi Jim,

=20

as I'm living in Munich and the Munich show is my home fair, I think I'm =
predestined to give you my impressions about this show.

=20

But first I have to introduce myself, because I'm joining this list only =
since two weeks, amused about the exchange of insults between the =
dealers ( Bruno, Mike, Matteo et.al: My prices are even cheaper! :-) and =
really glad that there is someone else on the list, who helps me not to =
be so ashamed of my poor English..=20

=20

My name is Martin Altmann and like Jim I'm from the group of =
astronomical enthusiasts. First in contact with meteorites I got as =
twelve year old boy, of course during the Munich fair 20 years ago, =
where I acquired my first specimen. Uh, I was so proud - three weeks =
later I found out, that it was only a tektite. But next year I bought my =
first real meteorite, a small Mundrabilla from german meteorite pope =
Walter Zeitschel.

=20

Well the meteorite prices were paradisiacally cheap at those times, but =
as a pupil I couldn't afford much and had always pangs of conscience in =
spending all my pocket-money for meteorites, regarded from my fellows =
and my family as a complete idiot . Later when the prices grew and grew =
due to the upcoming internet, I was forced to start to deal a little bit =
with meteorites to keep my collection growing like many others do. I'm =
running a homepage ( www.meteorite-martin.de , www.meteorite-martin.com =
), but because of a lack of time I'm not able to keep it updated (for =
the case, that someone is interested in my assortment for sale or trade, =
I gladly will mail an actual list) and most stuff I'm selling via ebay =
(ID: pardelmops). My collection is small but extremely conservative, I =
try to focuse on classical localities - meteorites with "names", not =
with numbers - and from those I like most observed falls.

Because the space for postings is limited, I have to split my report =
from the show into 3 parts....
