Hi Matt and all thanks for your emails. Sounds like a
pretty interesting bomb. Do you guys have any photos
that you can share with us of the 'etch' and are you
sure it was a bomb fragment? The etch on this specimen
looks remarkably similar to NWA 2428 which has a 12%
nickel content. At this point in time we have no firm
plans of getting it classified. If a buyer wants to
get it classifed (to make sure its not a "bomb
shrapnel") that will be great, but for right now we
are reluctant to chop off a chunk of this otherwise
very sculptural specimen and ruin its aesthetics. We
are working on getting a non-destructive nickel test
performed.


Cheers


-John & Dawn
