We deal with more W517's than most anyone? It might be true that we have a larger number of graded examples for sale than others (and a complete graded set in our 'keeper' collection). But seriously, now -- we can't possibly consider ourselves "experts" in the W517's (or any other issue, for that matter). Our accumulated knowledge is roughly the same as other collectors -- we know a little about some things, a bit more about others, and find ourselves consulting with the "experts" and the price guides for still others. So we can't tell you a thing about the origins of the W517's (at least nothing more illuminating than what everyone else knows). 
David -- thank you for your response. We thought it would be worthwhile to see if anyone would recognize it as being part of a specific, recognizable sports series (like the head & shoulders Scrapps and the R&S Artistic Series). At least we can stop driving ourselves crazy trying to identify the darned thing.
