I should have been more clear in my auction Frank, the piece I have on eBay
is paired and the description has been adjusted for the additional mass I am
aware of, as recovered by the Hupe brothers last December. All additional
known weight by pairings is routinely submitted by the Hupes and it will be
reflected in an upcoming MetBulletin. I still can't get to 1101.87 grams
with my data though.

"Puhzaz"
