Overview

There is a number of military rank flags that are not prescribed in the 1922 law, but are shown in the charts produced in the 1930s. These are reason for my belief that there must have been some regulation adopted between 1922 and 1937. Main sources for these flags are Isaić [isa01] and Flaggenbuch [neu39].

Marshal's flag

The flag of a marshal (vojvoda) is horizontally divided blue-white-red with the national coat of arms in canton. According to Flaggenbuch [neu39], the vertical axis of the eagle is located at 1/5 of the flag left side in the horizontal dimension. It spreads over 9/10 of the blue stripe in the vertical dimension.

This flag is also prescribed by the1937 law.
