Well, this is one reason, why some serious collectors donīt accept NWA:s in their collection.
Iīm stil wondering, to be or not to be...;- Anyway, not the best way to advertise these beauties - to make them as the easter-eggs.

Yes it is confusing!
To me, all it's done is make every single meteorite label in our collections questionable. - i.e 'a probably rather than an actually'
Clearly there is no way to guarantee authenticity if people sell unchecked stuff, - yes even if someone in a bar in Morroco said it originated from a known strewnfield. So as long as everyone appreciates that then fair enough.
Personally, I say never mind the dealers, the Buyers should get stuff checked! - I certainly will from now on, all Lunar Martian stuff etc I buy will gonna be checked over a lot more stringently than usual...

Subject: [meteorite-list] My Eyes Are Glazing Over- Need "Scorecard"
As someone, who is trying to follow this discussion,
my eyes are starting glaze over with NWA 1110 this;
NWA 2223 that; NWA 3133 is mine; NWA 3133 is not yours; my NWA 1906 is real; your NWA 1906 is fake; may the real NWA 788, NWA 787, or NWA 482, please stand up. It is hard to search back through the innumerable posts, given the lack of a search engine specifically for the archives, to find out the details behind each specific number is being talked about.
At some point, it seems someone needs to provide a "scorecard" of some sort, if it doesn't already exist, about what each of these "players" (meteorites)
in the number game are about. It would help the soft core, uninitiated lurkers better understand what is
the significance of NWA XXXX versus either NWA YYYY or NWA YYXX.
As the posts go back and forth about these numbers, I think of a song to the tune of "This Land is Your
Land" that starts out as "NWA 1110 is My number,
NWA 1110 is not your number from Uranus to Mercury..." appearing at some point.
Yours,
Paul Baton Rouge, LA
