OK , nobody knows his shoe size . How was his body height? So maybe I can guess his shoe size . |

ah, there is a line there somewhere...Lazarus...suggesting a digging up..... but didn't Bugatti have a quirk with socks like mittens ? would that mean slightly larger size shoes to accomodate more . |

If a German Engineer is asking a question , there is a reason ! If I have the shoe size ( + - 5mm , my CNC programm tells me all the other dimensions in the picture .

The not so small brass clip ,top right ,holding a lid down...they are made in just a few set sizes ? would that give a scale to run from ? When making brogue material,[ the hole pattern], surely that is not scaled to shoe size? so which size shoe had that many holes in the piece -modern patterns may not be very different, a decent cobbler may have an answer...

Also the nut can be of reference. From the looks of it, they look larger than my shoes, which are size 42. My guess at this time is size 44-45. I will ask someone who might know. |
