I purchased a pair of the 70's made Dettos and they arrived yesterday. These are from the seller in Chicago. I'm quite happy with my purchase. Many thanks to the person on the list that pointed these out on ebay a couple of weeks ago!
About sizing- At least for me, I've learned from the school of hard knocks that all Italian cycling shoes seem to run 2 sizes smaller than listed, including modern ones that I've purchased. I wear a 44 in any non-cycling shoe, but a 46 in an Italian cycling shoe including these old Dettos. Your mileage may vary.
