Hi Martin,
Maybe I can provide you a partial help .
In late 2003, I started a compilation of the weights (masses) of all
the Ensisheim meteorite fragments, slices...owned in museums,
institutes, or held in private collections...
I received much feedback and help from various people concerned and,
in particulat, from the list at the time, on a relatively regular
basis so that I could update the repositories in 2005 and 2007.
My latest update of the compilation was done some time in 2009 and
completed sporadically with a few new data provided by listees during
2010.
As per December 2010 I came up with 171 repositories mentioning the
places where the pieces/fragments are held, the owner's name and the
exact weight.
Presently I realize that, with the accelerated redistribution of
meteorites in various collections through trades, web contacts, E-Bay
offers....my list badly needs an new update, for which I will send a
call for new info & data in some very near future.
From this latest comlation (2007 - 2010), I can just tell you this:
1) TCU museum (Fort Worth, TX) apparently held a piece of 30.9 grams.
It was not specified whether this came from the Monnig collection.
This figure is from 2007 and apparently did not change in 2010,
although I was in a regular mail connection with David New at the time
(though I never asked him specifically to update this figure).
2) Matteo had contacted me some time in 2007, reporting he had in
collection 2 Ensisheim pieces weighing together 2.06 grams.
He specified both came from the Monnig collection.
I neither know the individual weights, nor their Monnig numbers.
Hope Matteo can help more.
Happy hunting!
Zelimir

Just found the following post from Matteo Chinellato dated 1st
September 2002, he mentions having a Monnig Ensisheim specimen for
sale with old label. This could possibly be the 218.1 numbered
specimen that i am chasing info on. Anyone have any knowledge of this?
Matteo, if you still read the list could you email please? I have the
218.2 specimen, the current Monnig/TCU specimen is listed as 23 grams
and is number 218.4 so Matteos sale piece should only be either 218.1
or 218.3 (which i dont know the weight of)
