Sharing with you all a source I have come to rely on for European catalogs, and specifically useful for the older Jacques Schulman sales from the early 1900's. The Newman portal is nearly absent these old Schulman sales which feature some of the most important sales of the period.

Links:
Main site: https://www.bnf.fr/fr
Gallica (the specific site for searching coins): https://gallica.bnf.fr/html/und/histoire/numismatique?mode=desktop
Schulman specific: https://gallica.bnf.fr/services/engine/search/sru?operation=searchRetrieve&version=1.2&startRecord=0&maximumRecords=15&page=1&query=((dc.creator all "Schulman, Jacques" or dc.contributor all "Schulman, Jacques"))

One key thing...the search function works beautifully. Search for Schulman...check. Search within for Chile...check. So easy and something that makes the Newman Portal at times frustratingly difficult to practically use.

The site is missing the Salbach part 2 which I desperately want to see but over 200 listings isn't bad for Schulman!

A useful resource.

If you’re ever in Paris, check out the BnF museum’s Cabinet des Medailles. I was there a few weeks ago. It has a small collection on display, but there are some outstanding ancient coins, including the unique 20-stater gold coin of Eukratides of Baktria (the largest gold coin of antiquity) and other important rare coins like a gold coin of Vercingetorix.

The BnF is right down the block from a row of coin dealers, so you can get yourself a souvenir there as well
