Overview

According to information below, the flags of Lithuania in 1920's were quite different from what is found in "Flaggenbuch". There are four flags to consider:

"State" ensign was adopted in 1919 but regulated only in 1927 (regulations are dated 1927). Between 1919-1936 it was used as naval ensign (2:3) and Jack (1:2). Jack was changed on 25 March 1936 and was supresed in 1939. The 1936-1939 Jack is very close to the image below: red green bordered flag with two arms gold cross I dont know if the naval ensign was used furthermore as state ensign in the era 1919-1927. No state ensign after 1927 (but there is a Ministry of Transportation....)

National Flag (2:3) - Just as in "Flaggenbuch" , but it is not clear from FOTW when this flag was adopted (1918?).
