Thanks for posting this, it will be great fun to go through them all in detail. I do not have it blown up to full size so am missing most of the lace, but plate 10 is very similar to a pattern in Nuw Modelbuch. The pattern is on page 18 and is titled "Fadermodel mit XXVI." This translates roughly to feather model with 26.
