Hello Listees and Listoids,

1. According to Buchwald, most of the Burlington iron was forged
    into agricultural implements, and the remainder has been heated

2. Manlai iron: "A story about the Manlai meteorite reported that a
    long time ago, a smith of that area broke off a small piece, having
    recognized the meteorite as a piece of steel suitable for making
    various types of implements" (Namnandorj, 1980).

3. Netscha?vo: The largest preserved fragments weigh about 500 g, and
   the total known weight is only about 6.1 kg. The remainder was evidently
   forged into agricultural implements. The fragments often show hammered
   surfaces, proving these assumptions (Buchwald).


Best from rainy, cold
Southern Germany,

Bernd
