Hi Martin and all,
In the early days, when there were very few dealers selling items, I
contacted Walter and asked to be put on his mailing list. Even though I
never bought very much from him, he was always kind to send a catalog to me
so I could enjoy all of his offerings. I always got a kick out of having to
convert dollars so I would know just how much something would cost me in his
catalog. He was a true collector and the meteorite world has lost another
great person!

Sad news, Martin.
Unfortunately I'm not long enough a meteorite-aficionado, so my chance to
know Walter Zeitschel personally wasn't really good. In any case, once
I've been in contact with him via email and felt his intense engagement
for the matter of the heavenly bodies immediately.
May he rest in peace. My compassion is with his family and friends.
Best regards,
Matthias Baermann

Last night Walter Zeitschel has left us.

Walter was one of the most outstanding meteorite personalities of our
times
and one of, if not the greatest collector of the 20th century.
Walter's meteorite specimens were for so many for us the doorstep to our
lifelong fascination for those irons and rocks from space.
Countless collectors he led to our hobby, long ago before meteorite
collecting was as popular as today; till today.
Our thoughts now are with his wife Nikki and his family.
