Honour ensign (1819-1917)

St. George Ensign is a honour ensign. It was granted to heroic ships. It was an award for ship. By one of first St.George Ensigns had received by ships Azov and Mercury. The shield had the points at the top and at the bottom, the shield had thin yellow border.
Victor Lomantsov, 24 Jul 2000

George’s stern flag [i.e. St. George’s ensign, reffering to the patron in the shield] (1819-1917). Also Ceremonial George’s flag (1819-1917).
Željko Heimer, 06 Apr 1999, quoting from Flag-znamya korablya, Russian Navy website, consulted 07 Mar 1999

However, regarding the «Ceremonial George’s flag (1819-1917)» it seems that the “onepointed” shield was used — at least so it is depicted on the Russian Navy webasite. There it is called «Знаменный георгиевский флаг (1819-1917)». I guess that it is supposed to be the “unit colour” and not the flag used as ensign, and therefore the “ornamentation” of the upper point of the shield was not needed. In any case, the George’s flags seems to be origins of the latter Soviet practice of adorning the naval flags with the orders and ribbons as honor emblems.

Navy Minister (1827-1918)

On page 68 of [zna99] there is a flag captioned «Russian navy minister (1827-1918)» (it would be better to caption it «1827-1917». I doubt that it continued to be used after the Great October, in late 1917.). May it be that this flag replaced the Admirality flag?

The green flag with white saltire is the Customs Flag. It was readopted 3 december 1994 by presidential decree No 2152. This flag was Customs Flag of imperial Russia since 1827.

Customs flag (1827-1972)?

previous Russian Customs flag?
image by Željko Heimer, Jozef Obskura and António Martins, 24 May 1999

The first Finnish customs ensign was adopted on 2 April 1813: the Mercury staffs below the Russian merchant flag. Russia’s customs ensign 1827-1872 was black with a white saltire. In 1872 Russia took over the flag from the Finnish, and Finnish customs vessels put the Mercury staffs into the fly of the flag.
Ralf Stelter, 03 Mar 2001

I think it is a misprint.
