Ralf
The WMW's in angolia's book are not attributed with model #'s. This is perhaps why you are not getting what you request.

Does anyone have a WMW sales-catalogue with numbers?

I am afraid I don't have one either. As a matter of fact I have never seen a copy.

Hi Ralf- I've searched through every bit of reference I have, searched the various WMW catalog scans, and reached into the furthest depths of my brain (which isn't very deep  ) and I cannot find any reference to that particular WMW saber. I can't seem to even place that saber, nor have any idea of what the basic pattern of the hilt resembles. Ralf- can you provide any clues to the sabers basics? Dove, lion, palin hilt, engraved, cast, etc.? PPS (Pre-post-script )Wim had posted some scans of the WMW catalog on WWM which is available for free download. Tom
