Thanks John.
Im not sure how difficult is to recognize fake sword, but recognizing
meteorites is rather easy (to me). In this case it was my own fault. I
belived to what he write and didnt look on photos close enough. Specimen was
too cheap and second it didnt look like 100% diogenite on photos. But
becouse I bough from him earlier, and I was satisfied with my purchases I
didnt questioned what he say. This is typical when routine kick Your ass :)
