Merchant Flag 1818-1819


by Jaume Ollé and Jorge Candeias, 15 March 1999

It seems that the national ensign was used without shield as merchant flag for limited time (c. 1818-19).

Merchant Flag 1819-1820


by Jaume Ollé, 19 October 1998

Another merchant flag is reported for a short period (1819-1820). According to Mario Fabreto Italian flags didn't exist with fimbriated cross but I recall the fact that the cross in arms were fimbrated in gold (i.e. Tuscany) and that the fimbriation can be the normal form to move the cross to the flag. Also Austrian, french (Bourbonic), Catalan or Spanish influence could exist.

Merchant Flag 1820 - 1847


by Jaume Ollé, 19 October 1998


by Jaume Ollé, 19 October 1998

In 1820 a new merchant flag was adopted. Seems that it exists at least in two patterns.
Jaume Ollé, 19 October 1998

Norrie/Hobbs shows a "Yellow with two thin Red stripes" ensign, namely Lucca (plate XVI).
Ned Smith, 16 July 1999

I guess both the Sicilian and Lucca ensigns, in a pattern of yellow field with two red stripes, have some relationship with the 1785 Spanish ensign.
Santiago Dotor, 20 July 1999

At J.W Norie - J.S. Hobbs: Flaggen aller seefahrenden Nationen, 1971 [nor71] (original print 1848):
195 Lucca - As upper flag, that is: Red stripes equally wide as yellow stripes. - Very interesting is that Ned Smith is quoted as reporting from Norie/Hobbs this same flag ("Lucca"), from the same flagplate (XVI), but as having narrow red lines! Does Ned have access to a completely different edition of N/H?
There is a flag closer to that in this edition, but that's 204 (Spanish Merchant).
