Hi all,

I posted a while ago asking for help in locating a source of cast iron
plaques that had been made to commemorate the Chelyabinsk meteorite fall.
Well after much searching and lots of use of google translate i have found
a source :-) Shout out to Karmaka meteorites, thanks Martin for your
assistance :-)

The foundry cast all sorts of items using the traditional 'Kasli' method
and are actually based in Chelyabinsk. The plaques are available in iron or
bronze. They are really nice in hand and look good when displayed next to
some Chelyabinsk specimens.

The link to their website is below:

And here is a link to some photos of my plaque:

And lastly here is a link showing a Chelyabinsk family photo ;-)

Enjoy :-)
