Command Rank flags (Sweden)

The Royal Command Flag was introduced by the army Field Service Regulations of 1943. Santiago [Dotor] is nevertheless right in assuming that this banner is not used at sea (it is, strictly speaking, a banner not a flag - a distinction often lost in English speaking vexillology). It is primarily for use in the army, at ceremonial occasions as far as I understand.

Note that this banner, it is termed His Majesty's Personal Command Banner, is a one-of-a-kind sort only: There is only one copy existing, a beautiful piece of craftsmanship created by Einar Kedja, a renowned Swedish heraldic artist. The cloth is permanently attached to a pole with a crown serving as finial.

In this image the brown part on the left is intended to represent the staff to which the cloth is permanently attached.
