Default "Canada" Decal

I agree with Hanno, there certainly needs to be more research into the application and placement of these decals before everyone goes crazy and starts sticking them on all of their restored vehicles. A good start would be a look at what Clive Law had to write about this Mutual Aid Board marking in his 2001 'Inglis Diamond' book.

I'd get a chuckle seeing one on a more modern vehicle although my wife said no to the proposition of sticking one on our Hyundai.

Is this the 1943 circular of the Canadian Manufacturer's Association which CLive referred to? It summarizes the details quite well:

It seems the collectors of Inglis pistols have looked into this subject before and collected some details like the circular and some wartime pictures:

The 1" decal is available as a sticker on eBay (no connection to the seller): https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Inglis-Hi-Po...r/133391947060

Thats a useful article Hanno, this leaves a conundrum regarding the 4" decal I uncovered on the door of my Dodge, perhaps there was a later memo updating the sizes.
