Here's just ONE example of the work, recognize the E. Bozzi copies of Nervex Pro lugs...now you DO thanks to this material...
As regards this particular pattern - IIRC these are shown in an Emilio Bozzi catalogue of 1950 which has been circulated. I would suspect that Bozzi was not in the lug manufacturing business but may have been a reseller. Some of the patterns in that publication are straightforward Agrati. The pattern shown in this photo may have been a stock Agrati one, although not shown in the one Agrati catalogue I have, ca. 1970. It is widely seen on ACER-MEX products. It was employed by Rizzato on some models up through ~1967 whereupon they changed over to the Prugnat 62/d.
Would love to see print materials from a maker such as Malaguti.
Methinks we should hear from a luminary such as [MENTION=57649]iab[/MENTION] on this subject.
