Flag signalling Government Member on Board

Stander für ein Mitglied der Bundesregierung oder den Herrn Bundespräsidenten

1:1, by Željko Heimer

On a square triband on a red outlined white shield is the coat of arms, with a red and white flammuly border. The flag is prescribed in size as 100 x 100 cm, the borders being 10 cm wide. The image in Album des Pavillons (2000) is not quite what I would be satisfied with - the flamullets are drawn very irregularly. There are nine white teeth along each side. The image above is what I think it should be - but it should be taken with some reserve. It is not clear if the flammulets are to be made by three "half-waves" as it is case in the military colours, or with only two "half-waves" as in the flag of flag officers.

Flag Signalling General on Board

Stander für General

7:8~, by Željko Heimer

A white flag with the coat of arms in the middle and bordered with red and white flammulets. The flag is not 1:1 as written in Album , but 100 x 114 cm (that's very close to 7:8~), and the image in Album des Pavillons (2000) is clearly so. The flammulets here in Album are irregular, but are clearly made of two "half-waves". The width of the border is 18 cm.
