Jim,
The flag is ALWAYS folded into that triangular form . . . for 'presentation'
of any kind of storage, even if it is only overnight.

The typical "Veterans Flag' is 5' x 9' . I just made 3 of them; one for a
neighbor, one for my wife {yet to receive the final finish} and the
remaining one I sold on e-bay. {The individual wanted to surprise his
sister; it was sent directly to her}

I would be glad to send you a photo and gross dimensions. I may even have
instructions & a diagram on how to fold the flag.

Contact me off-list.

Regards,

That usually means a glass-front triangular
case.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I've seen the square cases
with the flag on one side, medals on another--but I'm looking for the
basic triangular case.

Build the case to fit the flag, if you already have it.

Well, that's part of my problem. My mom has the flag, and I'd prefer
to do this without her knowing (until I give the finished product to
her). It might have gotten lost, but part of my original question
was: assuming flags that are draped over a coffin are always the same
size (or close), what are the final dimensions of the "flag triangle"?
