[meteorite-list] Italian iron?

[Jan Bartels]

Thanks so far Bernd and Matteo,

It was also hard to imagine for me there was one avalable this size!!
I guess he just got himself a fake Italian but still....it's a real piece
of spacejunk alright for little money, so still a good deal i think!!

Thanks you guys....
