Dimensions of Simpson's Keyhole #4 Needed

The Simpsons Keyhole is one of my favorite handle-shapes so I'd like to try to make one out of an exotic hardwood.

Can someone please send me the dimensions of the KH4 brush handle?
Here's what I need;

Total height of handle - bottom to top.

Handle's height from bottom of handle to the 'waist'

Diameter of the 'bust' & 'waist' & 'bottom'.

I could do it by eye but I'd like to pay homage to this brush as closely as possible.

Thanks in advance..
 
All I can add is that the gentleman at Superior told me, if I recall correctly, that the brush diameter they measure is at the widest point of the brush - wherever that is. You can probably determine that by eyeballing the photo.
 
Hey Thanks guys - I had checked the web and found those specs earlier. I was hoping someone here had a KH4 and could put a caliper to it. Maybe someone will roll by and hook me up.
 
hi

By remarkable coincidence, a potential customer recently asked for the exact same information (though presumably not to make a wooden one).
Right from stock...total handle height ~59mm, ~30.5mm from the ~40mm diameter base to bottom of 'waist', ~28.5mm from 'waist' to top of handle with a peak diameter of 41mm.
