flag holders

Afternoon Boys -n- Girls,
Those flag holders, on the front fenders of WWII German trucks, cars, etc, what were they're dimensions? Also,the license plates were what size?
Thanks!!!
 
Gene,

While license plates on vehicles were standardized at 9cm tall by 47.5cm (thanks Moon Puppy for the catch- I rely too much on this old brain) wide for the front and 20cm deep by 32cm wide for the rear (clipped or not), pennants & flags came in different sizes based on whether they had a metal frame, a celluloid cover, or made of fiberboard or sheet metal.

For the latter, find a photograph of the flag you want to replicate then try to find something similar at militaria auctions. They usually list dimensions.

Regards and good luck,
