Default Decal sizes

I have spoken to the company that can reproduce these water slide transfers and mentioned an interest in 6”,4”,3” & 1” noting that the 1” has a different background colour.
The transfer I uncovered on my Dodge door was 4”
Once I get some prices I will let you all know

Work up a set for the Inglis Browning High Powers and you'll sell a bunch. I'm pretty sure they are one inch but with solid colours more like the bigger ones instead of the gold leaf look like on radio ones.

Here as a scan of a 1" off the face of a radio set.

Clive Law's book "The Inlgis Diamond" has a copy of the original bulletin to the Canadian Manufacturer's association about the decals. See page 104.
It lists 4 sizes: 6, 3, 1-1/2, and 1".

If you are doing 1-inch glitter type, I am interested.

It is possible to make these yourself as a friend of mine has made some for me. The artwork is available on line as is proved in this thread. Waterslide printer paper is also available on line, if not through high street shops, which allows you to print the waterslide transfer using your own computer printer in the same way you can print photos onto photograph paper. Once applied to the surface a coat of clear lacquer will seal it. I cannot tell yet if fading may be an issue but so far so good.

Here are the sample pictures from the company for the available water slide decals, they will be available with either the tan background or the yellow background, unfortunately the gold effect cannot be produced
1”-£3
3”-£5
4”-£7
6”-£9
All plus postage at cost
As Mike has suggested you could do them yourself with the materials etc, clearly this company is in business to make something to cover their time and costs, anyone interested please let me know what you want and you location including post or zip code

here's a photo of an original decal I have. The decal itself is 6.5" square and from the outer red circle side to side is 6.25". No makers mark but says Copyright Registered 1943.

I have a copy of a similar touched up decal that I got years ago but don't know who did it.
