Thanks, Ian. This is really useful. I've occasionally thought of getting one of these cameras, because they seem so compact, but the filmholder issue always puts me off.
I was at an antique shop yesterday and they had a stack (8?) of grey-backed, single sided Kodak 9x12 film holders. They looked pretty clean. If anyone's interested, PM me. I'll need to see what people are willing to pay for them before I go back ONCE to either get them or not if he wants too much $.
Here are a couple of addenda, without pictures yet.
Voigtlaender 9x12 holders (no identifying number; I suspect all Voigtlaenders are the same): width 97 mm, length 147 mm, locating lip 7 mm (measured at the edge of the holder). I can personally confirm that these fit a Voigtlaender Bergheil and Avus, a Nagel Fornidar 30, and a Photo-Porst house-brand camera that I think was made by Orionwerk.
Kodak 9x12 film/plate holder (no model number; they say "Patent U.S.A. 1,933,823"): width 97 mm, length 148 mm, locating lip 6 mm (at edge). Double flange with the groove in between (I'll post a picture); they fit the same cameras as above.

My (Currently only) Voigtländer holder marked "Voigtländer" is 151mm long and 101mm wide. Some more holders arrived today but thanks to this thread I identified them as Linhof holders, 141X101mm. Hmm So it seems I have 1 working holder and 4 extra sheaths. Talk about making every shot count
Kind regards

Hang on in Søren, it's a real painful process finding the correct fit because most sellers don't know how to identify them properly. Those Linhof type holders also fit some Zeiss cameras.

Yeah but now I'm in doubt. I just found an Inscription on the pouch saying ICA AktGes. Dresden. But then again that just proves the pouch is an ICA.
Edit. Looking at the pics of the Linhof holder I noticed they don't have that "edge" the others have on the side so I'm not sure if mine are not ICA instead.
Kind regards
