It should be part of the Firkowitzsch collection in the National Library of

with signature Evr. I B 3.

There is also a facsimille published in 1876 and reprinted 1971:

 The Hebrew Bible - latter prophets : the Babylonian codex of Petrograd = 
Prophetarum posteriorum codex Babylonicus Petropolitanus / ed. with pref. and 
critical annot. by Hermann L. Strack. - [Faks. der Ausg.] Petropoli, Ricker,
