Rediscovery of an unknown flag

On this photo I found the third flag looks unknown for me. This flag has a yellow band with three red bands and a dragon in the middle. Can you figure out what is that? --Great Brightstar (talk) 15:19, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

@Great Brightstar:, excuse the late reaction, but I have been aware of this photographs for a number of months now and have tried investigating it myself but haven't been able to find its colour scheme or its purpose. As the watermark tells it's from the now-defunct TTXVA website, a couple of months ago I asked the owner for VTRS (formerly "OTRS") permission but he told me that he didn't author this image and that it was submitted to the website by one of its readers. All the information I got is that it's one of the personal standards of the former Bảo Đại Emperor and that this photograph is one in a series of imperial standards from the State of Vietnam period. I will try to find the archived link for you. --Donald Trung (talk) 14:24, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Above is another imperial standard that isn't on the Wikimedia Commons yet, I will look for the archive of the page for you. Please create an SVG of the above if possible. Never mind, it is a military flag. --Donald Trung (talk) 14:35, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Xưa nay người Việt Nam giữ quan niệm rất ấu trĩ về lá cờ, đa số thường cho rằng, lá cờ là độc quyền của nhà cai trị và có tính cách linh thiêng. Tuy nhiên, đã tới lúc lối tư duy nực cười này phải bị gỡ bỏ, muốn quốc gia bền vững trước cơn lốc toàn cầu hóa thì tất cả công dân phải chấp nhận sự khác biệt. Hơn nữa, lịch sử quốc kỳ của chúng ta không dài lâu, cho nên, đừng nên bị những quan niệm ý thức hệ che mờ. http://ttxva.org/quoc-ky-viet-nam/ http://ttxva.org/quoc-ky-viet-nam-2/

The photograph has the description "Quốc gia Việt Nam : Quốc kỳ, cờ hoàng đế, cờ Ngự lâm quân. " (State of Vietnam: National Flag, Emperor's flag, Musketeer's flag. ).

@Great Brightstar:, No archive of the webpage seems to exist, I have not been able to find it, I will try to find a copy of it that wasn't archived by the Wayback machine.

So as far as I can find it's the flag of the Musketeers (Ngự lâm quân), but I can't find any information about the Musketeers of the State of Vietnam, so I will investigate further. --Donald Trung (talk) 15:10, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Greenknight dv told me this was the flag of Bao Dai's guards, so the problem at the moment is what the exact color shades used on this flag. -- Great Brightstar (talk) 03:36, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
