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 grade 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.
