Note on the source

Unfortunately, the main source for this group of flags in 1937, Acovic, only lists them. There is neither description nor pictures of the flags. I believe that those flags would be matching similar flags used by the Independant State of Croatia.

Masthead pennant

by Zeljko Heimer

The masthead pennant (plamenac ratnih brodova) is prescribed in article 9 of the 1922 law. It is a long white pennant, from the middle to fly converging to a point and ending with a white tassel. The first third of the length it is in the national tricoluur colours. The ratio of the flag is 1:100.

The 1937 law kept this pennant.
