Green Nobels 808 label

Great thanks! I made some display cartridges years ago and might make more but cannot find my file for the stamp and paper. Do you know the dimensions of the paper?

Also wondering what diameter the 808 cartridges were. 1.25 inches? There has been some conflicting info out there.
 
It is scanned at 100% so if you just print it, it should be right. to be on the safe side i will get the dimensions on tuesday when I have it to hand again.
 
OK, got some measurements for you. Measured on the long side
In Imperial Measure it is 12 inches long and 5 3/16 inch wide.
In Metric is is 305 mm long and 133 mm wide.

I think the explosive cartridge would have been about 3.5 inch long and 1.25 inch diameter. Just a guess not confirmed information but thats what I am going with.
