Well, I went out to look for mine so I could tell you what it was... and can't find the dat burned thing.  Not surprising, considering the current state of my shop and tools and everything else.  It is my #1 tool, and I do just about everything with it... or I did, anyway....  It's around somewhere, but maybe I need to order another one, myself!  I'll see if I can figure out which one it was...  I'm thinking it was a #12 sweep, 6mm wide (close to a quarter inch wide).... maybe a 4....

I'm looking at this one now, and it looks about right.

yay, I found it!  I was wrong on all the sizing!  :P    I have a 15-3.  It's a little bit tighter a "V" shape than the 12.

Woodcraft has a pretty good chart describing their Pfiel sizes; https://www.woodcraft.com/categories/pfeil
