It would be interesting if they made a Colt Peacemaker .45 pistol from a
meteorite. This is the gun that help keep peace in the West starting in
1873.

I went to a cash land auction held by Pershing County here in Nevada and was
concerned about security since I saw no guards or policemen on duty and the
back door was left wide open at the community center where the auction was
being held. The room was filled with cowboy and rancher type investors with
suitcases full of cash and yet nobody seemed concerned. I inquired and the
auctioneer stated, "If somebody was ever stupid enough to try and rob one of
my auctions, he would have fifty bullets in his head before hitting the
ground since most of my auction patrons are heavily armed." I looked around
and could see cowgirls with Ladysmith 9 mms and derringers stuffed into
their boots and purses and men checking in on their Colt 45s laying in the
same suitcases along with their cash.
Needless to say, I witnessed peace through strength at this auction right
here in the Wild West.

Hello Peter,
Since you asked................
I am sorry if I upset your friend or yourself, but destroying a meteorite
just so you can redo it was simply idiotic. Why break something just so
you can glue it back together? and losing in the process the Widmanstatten
pattern, the very identity of the meteorite that simply cannot be
re-created.
As for this latest idea....... Using a meteorite that came down in peace,
that helped early men learn the value of iron, and then turn it into a
gun, this might be the ultimate insult.
See you soon in Tucson.

Dear Tommy and All
I will be interested to see the reaction of listees to this article. A few
years ago I posted a small "flyer" for the work of an artist who had taken
a piece of Campo, made a mould of it, melted the meteorite then cast it in
the mould she had made earlier and put it on display in an exhibition of
her work. This piece of news generated a great deal of, mainly negative,
comment on the list. Can someone point out to me how this use of a
meteorite, to make a weapon, is different (for better or worse) to the
artwork my friend created?
Cheers
