I dont have the size, but hopefully this will be of some assistance
It came from here:- https://www.osenat.com/lot/100222/11031206
This add has a photo of the same sign but nothing to really help determine the size but it's a nice car:- https://www.artcurial.com/en/lot-1933-renault-primastella-pg8-berline-no-reserve-4014-229

merci beaucoup monsieur, je peux maintenant le mettre à l'échelle à partir de la plaque de diamant.
I expect you will want to make it for yourself, but there is a company at Salisbury, Queensland Nameplate that may be able to help you.
Okay so we have established the size by scaling off a known value, the diamond plate.
Alan yes I will etch it myself but it sure will be fiddly with the minute script, I'll have a go anyway.

Hmm, it seems the smallest script is 3mm which will be about the limit of my capability 
Just found this. 3 mm seems challenging.Hmm, it seems the smallest script is 3mm which will be about the limit of my capability

How did you know the size of the lozenge plate?
erm, pretty sure I have a few floating around in my collection of old things. They would all be the same as the more modern ones wouldn't they.
I guess why would they not be the same? Fair enough - and rivet sizes as Mr Seasink observed!
Absolutely yes to the copper rivets, pretty sure they didn't use aluminium pop rivets in the 1930s. Not that I'd ever have a use for them mind..
Found!
Good ol' ebay fr and only 5€. Now I just need to pretty it up a tad.

Wow, well found. That'll look superb when you've had your way with it! Then you can make a batch.
I think I forgot to thank you for returning the un-required vent by Dauphine. It is now hanging up in the garage again.
Gonz, Being an old schooler I've had a play with acid etching in recent years and reckon it's a worthy skill-set for any keen tinkerer to acquire. Here's a couple of replicas direct from my facility.
3D printing will need to improve quite a bit before I'll consider trying it.

Next to your Etching I suspect?Wow, well found. That'll look superb when you've had your way with it! Then you can make a batch.
Thanks to you as well.
I had that exactly in mind.
It's on the edge of the shelf by a bench with grinder etc. Just lovely.
That'll do; it's legible and still bears 90 odd years of patina, just as it should. Now I just need a car to put it on.
Totally agree. Just right! I guess you'll find something to put it on one of these days.
Yes something will turn up I'm sure. We live on the wrong side the equator but I guess a miracle might happen.
