Help identifying a window

I have a punchlist repair task on a job that has a broken window. Its a basement hopper window all wood frame looks like and Anderson but its single pane with what looks like a removable storm window right on the exterior frame itself. I dont think the glass is replacable so I need to order a new sash. These units are 3 years old, I cant find any identifying etchings on the glass itself and I dont recall ever encountering this type before.

Does this description above sound famliar to anyone?

Sounds more like a Pella, as they had the removable interior pane........ I dont think Andersen did. Any glass is replaceable........... they had to put it in there so it can be taken out and replaced.

The frame does not have any glazing compound or mechanical fasteners at the corners of the frame that would enable it to come apart. This is the first thing I looked at.

I can be replaced

Tahe it out break out glass and tape off on interior edge mark on tape a 1/4" larger all around and use a Fein multi cutter or a dremel with a blade and cut it out, bring to a glazier and he will glass it and trim it in should cost 18 for single pane plate glass and 50 for labor to glaze

It was an older Anderson unit. I went to a repair place they said no way not worth the effort. I ordered a new sah only $67.00 bucks.
