To be honest? I don't know what it would translate to in Schmetz....or if they have one. I doubt it.
Boye needles often come up on ebay, I'm looking for some myself for these Damascus machines of mine!

When it comes to Boye needles, and you're looking for the ones in the wooden tubes, the number that follows "Boye", as in Boye "14", Boye "22" is the style of needle and not the size.
I have a chart hiding somewhere in this laptop that has the conversion of needles. I have to go dig it up and see what I can find.
