Stock mine stake

[2ND. PANZER]

Hello everybody
I just bought a stock mine and want to make a display with it, does anybody know the length of the stake?
I searched the net but did not find a definite answer, were they random length or was there a standard?
any help will be appreciated
Thank you

The stake, of course, was normalized but with slight tolerances;
lenght approximately 40.0cm, diameter 3.6cm, at the top narrowed to 3.0cm, at the bottom sharpened.

Here a picture of my original stake. 395mm long. 35mm diameter. Otherwise as Sudelmut said before. In center of the upper end is a 10mm diameter and 50 mm deep bore.

That is a standard stake for use in normal conditions, I found out that they made longer stakes for deep snow and some times they tied them on to fences and trees !
