Found a dealer on Tatooine selling "authentic Mandalorian scrap." Usually
means painted durasteel and lies.

But this... this was real.

Small ingot, maybe two kilos. Pre-Imperial stamp. He wanted ten thousand
credits. I offered five and a threat.

Paid six. Fair price for both of us.

The <a href="/beskar-grades/" class="wikilink" data-title="Beskar Grades" data-description="Comparing beskar alloys from different eras" data-date="2026-02-08">grade</a> is good. Not perfect, but workable. Can patch the
damaged sections on my left greaves and have enough left for emergency
repairs.

Question is: where did he get it? Real beskar doesn't just appear. Someone
died for this metal. Someone's armor was stripped.

I didn't ask. Sometimes the answers are heavier than the questions.

Will take it to a forge when I find one. Make it part of me. Honor the metal.
Honor the fallen.

This is the way.
