Hi Manolo,
I dont have the 1882 catalog, but I looked in "The American Fraternal Sword" (Hamilton, Marino and Kaplan). The IOOF section shows a number of color illustrated swords, with the 'Roman pattern' variations (KM174-179; KM182-184) with the last grouping seeming more like the M1833 Foot Artillery swords. These have the neo classic hilt with scaled grips solid brass cast.
In the appendix it lists references to the IOOF swords in the 1882 catalog as 300-324 and 327-330).

If you could tell me more on what you're hoping to find or show a photo I could maybe compare it to the images in this book. If its a more specific question I might still be able to reach Joe Marino, but I havent talked with him for about two years.

All the best,
Jim
