Hi Chris guessing you put them on your 70CDN3? If you can can you send me or post a photo of both ends with them on...then I may be able to better place an ad to see about getting some or having them made...Thanks Casey

Here is a scan of the one I grabbed from downstairs. It's a bit streaked...sorry.

It was printed by a company in Mississauga Ontario called Sealcraft Inc. The phone number on the back is 905-677-3200, although this number also comes up as Romano imports, so it looks like the company is mufti-faceted. Not sure if they printed these up regularly or just won a one-off bid to make them.

Here is a listing on ebay for some that are just about the right size. Only problem is you will have to paint the white background behind the maple leaf: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Canada-Flag-C...0c2a63&vxp=mtr

The FMCOs detailed where the flags were to be placed. But most troops did not read the FMCOs, so the flag could be found on the hood, either fender front, the windshield, or the front bumper, and usually on one of the two rear bumperettes.

The flag decals I have are likely about 14 years old, so it is very possible the company will have no idea what you are asking about. Good luck, I guess you never know.

I ended up going the eBay route for 3" x 6" decals. I was able to find red on a white background from Edmonton no less. I wanna say both cost me under $10 shipped.

I actually managed to scrounge some of the NSN'd ones from work pictured above, but they were so old that they really didn't stick very well anymore.
