About these flags
The general design is similar to early 19th cent. regimental flags.

During a report upon the Crimea Crisis a Russian Flag could be seen. Ratio like national flag, i.e. 2:3, design similar to the Defence Minister's flag, but with silver double-eagle and without fringes, red disc and wreath. So my first guess is, it has something to do with the Ministry of Defence.

I notice this flag uses the 1858-1883 colors, which is especially evident when comparing with theminister's flag, which uses thenational colors. Any idea why?
