Boguslavka!!! Great iron, great Neumann lines (IIAB Hex)! Hey, I?m most critical regarding irons potentially rusting. But this has been a very stable one ever since it resides in my collection. In case Chladni?s heirs have more of this for sale, I recommend --> go get it!

I have a Hoba slice in my collection, no, not the usual shale stuff, but a solid genuine slice - with a very good handover history from at least two of its (well-known) pre-owners. This one shows what one would superficially call a "good crust", and when I bought it many many many years ago as a newbie from a well-known collector, I admit I still had to do a little research on it afterwards for myself why it looks how it looks. Crust on irons, but not only there, may be quite a tricky thing to have it interpreted correctly.

(No, the Hoba is not for sale).
