Sorry to advise that I see no relevant illustrations on either the preceding or following pages or in the index of illustrations for sales around that period.

I have the physical book as it came with my set of Laking years ago.

Ok Lee
Thank you very much for your help so I will try to find a copy from the original catalogue for this auction. "armes armures Frederik Muller & Cie Amsterdam 1911"
I know that The armour without burgonet was sold by Charassé, rue Bonaparte, Paris, circa 1889 The burgonet, Seymour Hayden, sold F.
