If I can get somebody to get the nomenclature down, I will offer to set up a database that will accept the inventories.

Has anyone heard anything more about this project? The site has apparently not been updated since the 22nd of September 1999. In the absence of any substantive news, I have embarked on my own consolidation of piece descriptions and image files. It (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.db.brictionary)
