What are the dimensions of this piece? Gunwolf http://www.hunting-heritage.com

Many German hikers loved to decorate their Tyrolean shape hats with lots of such stickers as a memento to all the places they had visited. Such stickers, though going out of fashion, are still available at all popular tourist destinations.
