  Going through (finally) our last storage unit with LEGO. Is this a variation
of the Windscreen 8 x 6 x 2 Curved? They are light bluish gray in color.

It's engraved?
Or do I miss something?

Thanks, Sylvain! I should've known, being Star Wars sets. Brains are giving
out on me, or just too many balls in the air, lately.

Thanks again

The part number is clearly visible in the first screenshot. How did you miss
that?

Yeah, and even with light and a good photo it can be challenging to see.

Ahhhh dont worry mate, you got enough to keep you going!!

As do I, I am a newbie to the whole "catalog identification" thingie but I'm
getting used to looking for specific defining features, like it looks like a
boat hull, so I look in the boat hull section.

Or maybe a modified plate, so I'll look in this section.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=27

It doesnt take too much time unless its a head with printing, then you have to
search for more details, there is like 200+ pages worth of lego heads.

But when looking (at things like heads), you can generally cut that count by
half+ - 50% of those will be male/female. You can the reduce significantly
further by colour and features. That 200 pages can then end up as just 50...


As for numbers not being visible to the naked eye, at the right angle, in the
right light, yeah, that is a real problem.

Don’t forget to also type hollow, blocked, solid, or vented to narrow it down
more
For example
Yellow head hollow dual female glasses
