    Wehrpass / Soldbuch photo size

    Hello. I've got two small SS photos which IMO are kind of Wehrpass / Soldbuch pass photos.
    They measure each approx. 50mm x 70mm. One had already been cut out.
    Both have the maker "Agfa Brovira" on their back and also a stamping of a Prague photo studio (Karel Kristof, Praha).

    I don't doubt that they aren't original but the size is not very common. I remember having seen a few times Wehrpässe / Soldbücher with bigger photos but don't remember exactly what size their photos had.

    At the time, was there a regulation regarding the pass photo size of WPs and SBs? was there a tolerance?

    Sorry for all those questions but I really would like to learn more about that.

    Regards

        Thank you very much, Jan. I didn't know that there was an official size.
