The royal standard

Above is shown the standard of His Majesty Albert II, King of the Belgian, son of the late Léopold III / Leopold III and younger brother of the late Baudouin I / Boudewijn I.

The colour of the standard field should be "rouge ponceau". Anyway, Lupant [lup98] says: 'but in fact the colour used is close to the colour of the Order of Leopold's ribbon'.

Album des Pavillons [pay00] as well as Lupant [lup98] show the cypher A as solid, whereas the former edition of Album des Pavillons [pay] showed the cypher A as open (as shown above).
The cypher should have number II between the downstrokes of the letter A. Howerer Lupant
