These flags probably belong to those three further above. The only difference despite of the ratio is the shape of the dagger and the main colour of the right flag is blue. The date of the black flag is given as 1865, that one of the blue flag as 1877.

War Ensign

The flag was black, charged with two white swords in saltire with hilts pointing to hoist. Above between both bladeds is a white disc. At top is an additional black streamer. Anonymus 1865 Flag Chart

Military Colour

Trumong War Flag (taken in battle 16th Cent.), I have done a line drawing over the top one to show where the Zulfiqar Sword is. The Batak King, Raja Sisingamngaraja XII of Sinambela flew a similar flag, but this was coloured red & white. He reigned 1871 until he was killed by the Dutch in 1907).
