Why did I buy this lot?

I bought this group because of one interesting LRB.

I am sure that some of you will have no problem figuring it out.

Just saw this.  Antioch UR, officina delta-epsilon.
Could you give us the size and weight on your example?  I have one of these at 18mm and 2.90g. Die axis 6 o'clock. Curious to see how consistent they are.
