Hello again, short update:

Don't be sad - the early bird ate already the Gan Gan.
Many thanks!

Perhaps, to console you, we should remind you on a no less excellent iron
specimen in the same price category, which has missed your attention, cause
it was covered by Ukrainian cosmic debris.

The Whitecourt,
where one could state similar things like about the Gan Gan,
because wandering around in the EoM/Bulletin Database and on the sales
sites, one hardly finds a similar fine specimen.

Difference to Gan Gan is, that we priced it under-average.

Here it was:

With frayed and folded edges plus also some tear-lines left.

other side is a smooth bulge:

131.43g

6.5$/g instead of the 9$-standard.

Premium-Piece, isn't it?

Such a shrapnel,
As Sikhote you would say: Ugly.
As Gebel Kamil: well, o.k.....
But as Whitecourt: WOW, stunner !!!

Enjoy it too!
