This one is likely going to be very hard to find as the TKW was only 2.3 Kg for this Iron meteorite, and it was found in 1880. I wonder where the main mass is housed? The Smithsonian has a 273.44 gram specimen, but I don't know if any other larger pieces exist. Perhaps so in a NC museum. I have been looking to buy NC meteorite specimens as well, and managed to find a few. Not an easy task, but they can be found. You might try contacting Russ Kempton (New England Meteoritical Services) his website is: http://www.meteorlab.com/ I have obtained several NC micros from Russ, and he may well be able to point you in the right direction if he does not have anything available.
