old curve sabers
« on: May 08, 2008, 19:33:39 »
I want to know if somebody knows the number of the old, curve saber, and if there is any recent set where it is present (I ould like it not to be discontinued). Much nicer to me than the most recent straight saber with wide guard.

I´m afraid it was discontinued, it is found in recent Antex pirate sets, but chromed.

I'm sure I bought some of those in the past two years and may have some spare.  I'll check.

The following part numbers are from Cap'n Henry and Tiermann who were kind enough to provide Heather with the information so that she could include it in her fantastic PlaymoDB !!!

All the best,

I've had a check on my spares box, Pyrrhus, but I'm sorry to say that I no longer have any.  I used to have quite a quantity of pirate spares, including these sabres, but I've been getting rid of them in recent months.  Sorry to disappoint you  :( however, it's pretty certain that they are still available from DS.

Thank you very much, Richard and Playmofire!!

No problem Playmofire, I thank you for the courtesy and preoccupation however.  :)
It seems like the sabers can be bought elsewhere... a little question... is it saber- or sabre? or does it vary geographically?

Richard, thank you very much, I suppose these different numbers may refer to the non-chromed, gold-chromed and silver-chromed varieties of the old curve sabre. :wow:

If you go to Heather's PlaymoDB, you can see what sets they came from.

BTW, "saber" and "sabre" are both correct. However, Heather has them listed under "sword" ...  ;D

All the best,
Richard

To be precise, I called swords with D-shaped handles "Sword, cutlass-type", and curved weapons with with cross-hilts, "Sword, saber (curved)".  PlaymoDB Parts Containing "sword" will show them all (and a few other things with "sword" in the name).  Completely arbitrarily out of my head, to the tizzy of weapons experts everywhere :)  I do try to choose names that are useful to search on, hence the inclusion of "sword" in both.

I was surprised to notice that I only have 114 handheld weapons on file, in about 60 different shapes.  It certainly seems like there ought to be more, when I look in my parts bags!

Please be assured that I would NEVER ever criticize your choice of names for parts that you have cataloged in your wonderful PlaymoDB ... I can't even imagine trying to come up with appropriate labels for just about any or ALL of the parts that you have listed.

Heather, you continue to do an incredible job of providing our Playmobil community with one of the most useful tools that we could possibly wish for. Thank you!

All the best,
Richard


Edit: Ooops ... forgot to "bold" Heather's name ... :-[

Thanks Richard!  If something is uselessly inaccurate, don't hesitate to let me know.  Ideally I try for a balance of accuracy, descriptiveness, plain English suitable for the auto-translators (I get quite a few hits through Babelfish and the like!) and searchability, but many or all of those often get ditched in the interest of just getting the darn thing done.  I do go through spates of fixing and adjusting.  There are still several hundred parts with German names imported from playmobil.de, for heaven's sake... I'll get to them by and by.

One set at a time, that's how it goes.  All offers of help gratefully accepted.
