Chuck,
I think I have discovered the problem. The sword on my nameplates has
the "blade" 3 times the length of the other points of the star. But I
measured the sword on other pictures where the "blade" is over 4 times the
length of the other points. So, apparently, the C&C sword/dagger/star is
not standardized.
