1460.4 grams.   Iron, IAB-MG

TKW 30 metric tons. Observed fall: no. Impacted about 50,000 years ago. Found 1891 in Coconino County, Arizona, USA, between Flagstaff and Winslow.



Anne writes:
I acquired this one from a private collector during the Tucson Show. And it came with a Nininger label (Photo 2).

Now I am wondering: is it possible that Nininger is the one who windowed that piece to verify it? And then I have seen many Nininger pieces with a painted number, but this one is completely different (Photo 3). Who could have painted that? Could it be H. H. Nininger?

Any comments or bits of information would be welcomed.
