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?

Very rare catalog I wish I had one...

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

Here's a page of WMW swords from a 1935 catalouge. Sorry no mention of pattern 421.If you want a close up of the hilts then let me know.

Very Nice Gary! Regards: James

Thank you very much Gary.

Unfortunatly the 421 is not shown
so I'm further looking for the modell 421

BTT
still looking for the 421

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.

I believe this is the one your looking for.

Wow! What a "knockout" sword!

George-
Wow is right. Incredible saber.
