The national flag bordered white.
According the image in Album 1995, the
border appears about 3/4 of the yellow stripe, though this could have been
unprescribed. By the 1990's this flag would have long been made obsolete, and
therefore is not included in Album 2000. Are we sure that the flag is legally
made obsolete at some point, or only fell into disuse. As always with the pilot
flags (and as it is often difficult to know), there is a question how this flag
was used - as ensign on pilot wessels, as ensign or signal on ships on which
there is a pilot on duty or by ships requesting a pilot.

Used only on official vessels, not on the pilot vessels.
Triangular pennant divided vertically in white and blue with a crowned yellow
anchor in the white field. The length of the white field is half the length of
the blue field (ie. 3:2+4).

Vertically divided white and blue rectangular flag. The National Geographics 1917 Flag Number shows this
flag the same but with noticabley different blue colour, i.e. differing from the
shade used in other Swedish flags. The blue used there is the
"ordinary" blue (i.e. B or B+).
