Yes, of course. With iron meteorites this is part of the preparation process. This is a polished and etched slice of the Domeyko octahedrite: This is the ESCAPA AC7:

LOL, I guess I'd soon run in troubles here, showing up as a total newbie and spamming this welcoming and professional forum with meteorite photos. Perhaps two more are allowed. This is the largest stony meteorite meteorite we ever found (ordinary chondrite), a pristine specimen of 19 kg; Rub...

Much appreciated, thank you. On flying-related artifacts, I have the armored front screen of a Messerschmitt 109E and a McDonald-Douglas ESCAPA-AC7 ejection seat, but no more flight jackets, unfortunately. I'm a a desert explorer and meteorite collector, that's where my collecting is focused at.

Thanks for the quick turnaround, will definitively consider. Best regards Svend

Great expert information on the cyclist jacket here, glad I've found this resource. I have a question for @Pilot if I may: is there a source for the chrome-plated pressed iron buckle (just looking for one)? Any help would be much appreciated.
