The flag, shown as #1018 in National Geographic (1917)

Naval flag of the Sultan - Image by Željko Heimer, 19 June 1996
The naval flag of the Sultan was pink with a kind of star in the center (similar to that of Emirate of Afghanistan), with the white moon crescent and the star (five points) in the interior. The flag of the Imperial retinue was similar to the naval flag but swallow-tailed.
