Now to the show:

I haven=92t been yet to Ensisheim, but beside that show, Munich was =
always the largest (sorry Rainer) and most important event for =
meteorites in Europe.

Where shall I start =96 if someone is missing on the list: Don=92t be =
angry, it=92s just a syptom of my weak brain, raise your hand and =
scream: I will be there too!

=20

Which dealers from the famous dealer=92s list I remmeber to have seen =
last year?

=20

Let=92s start with Fectay&Bidaut (for not getting angry mails) =96 they =
always exhibit an impressive variety of the rarest types, you may =
imagine, planetary material as well as marvellous oriented stones. Some =
larger pieces of historic falls too.

>From France too, you=92ll find Grandseigneur Carion, cool impact =
breccias, Wabar pearls, cheap bags of Gao and Tatahouine. Each year he =
fills a permanent display case of the normal show program with museum =
pieces of his collection.

The Labennes will be there with their lunaites and fresh crusted =
unclassified desert goodies =96 last year they were looking somewhat =
disappointed.

A great fun and a real highlight each year is Erich Haiderer=92s =
wonderfull chaotic stall, where you will find hidden under grab boxes =
with ordinnairy desert chondrites and the most common irons fine =
achondrites. He=92s the only dealer with best-price-guarantee.

The Karls and Vassiliev will share a table: I remember fantastic, =
translucent Imilac slices, large slices of the classical Shergottites =
and Dag 400 and I hope they will bring this year all the superrare =
historic falls, which they are selling on ebay during the last months.

Of similary quality will be the assortment of Mr.Pittmann (not on the =
dealer=92s list), last year he showed me a palm sized Mars =96 next to =
him, you=92ll find (if the other dealers won=92t beat him up, because of =
his recent ebay hazards) Comet-Shop Afanasjev: Many different =
Dho-treasures: lunaites, nice inexpensive impact melt breccias, Chinga, =
Brahin =96 last year he had a chunk of the latter, which showed =
Widmannst=E4tter patterns..

Good for some bargains is =93From Stone age to Space age=94, small =
assortement of african meteorites, last year he offered two =
low-tkw-falls at an incredible low price.

=93Abraxas=94-Stehlin from Switzerland I have to mention. Many =
historical meteorites in an astonishing fresh quality, rare desert types =
too. Here a special hint from me: Try to find Mrs.Kammel from =
=93Rocksonfire=94 =96 there I made my best deals last year!

Let=92s go further through the list=85 There were some people from =
St.Petersburg, but I=92m not sure if it was Pilipiuk from the list, who =
sold Sikhotes in all sizes and had also two large individuals of, I =
guess, at least 30kg each. Anyway, Sikhote in all shapes was by far the =
most predominant locality, at least five different dealers I found =
offering only Sikhote. Mostly in large boxes, totally unsearched, so =
that it is always a real excitement to pick out the most oriented =
specimens with flow lines and you=92ll be always able to find such =
pieces (starting around approx. 0,5Euro/g, for the case, that you take =
only a few), which sell on ebay at high prices as so called =93killer =
oriented=94. And here another hint: Take a little lighter fluid or =
acetone and some handkerchiefs with you. All Russians like to oil their =
Sikhotes with a black, ropy grease, so that you can=92t see whether they =
still have the bluish fusion crust or whether they are tumbled or =
overcleaned (85%). Also the finest flow lines are not visible under this =
russian lard. The names of the Sikhote sellers I can=92t remember so =
well. Bulgak and Skorniakov comes in my mind. Because the fees for the =
table in Munich are so incredible high, many smaller meteorite =
specialists occupy a corner of the tables of friendly mineral dealer, =
thus you won=92t find them on the exhibitors database. Like this, I =
heard, Cimala Polandmet from the dealers list will join the show.=20

=93Direct Line Resources=94 was there, I didn=92t visit, because once I =
got a cry for help from a desperate man, who bought there a gold plated =
Gibeon =93weddind band=94, the gold was getting loose and was breaking =
of. They never answered to his emails, nor to mine.

=93Excalibur=94 I could read on a table with only a small number of =
meteorites, but I don=92t know, if those were the Excaliburs from the =
list and in former times I bought some rarer US-localities at low =
prices, which had Minresco-Cisnero labels, - I=92m not sure, if they =
were there last year. List complete or Dean Bessey?
