				 Wolf 
 
			
			It is mysterious Jim.  Such an elaborate rendering of the Passau Wolf is entirely possible on an expensive blade down in Austria at that time. I will keep looking, because the fact that an almost identical rendering was used on a 1760s colichemarde suggests it may not be entirely alone.ps
 The talismanics are typical of Passau blades back in the 1620s; not just Solingen.
