jason,
The weight of the original is 2.65 kilos(Trapp. As to survival, it was one of the oldest pieces in the family armoury of the Vogts von Matsch at Churburg.

I would guess that it was replaced by another piece for whoever was wearing it, but that's just a wild guess. The condition of all of the collection at Churburg is amazingly good.
