Rosanoski combined photographic funnel evidence with Loughran’s flag. San Leopoldo shows small eagle legs over a zero-like O. The flag’s eagle differs around the legs from that on the funnel; Rosanoski allows that the funnel lettering or practical execution could account for the difference.

LJC 1930 uses buff for both flag and funnel. Larousse describes a yellow flag with thin black horizontal edges and a standing black eagle with outstretched wings. Mertens estimates each edge at one-fifth of the height and the eagle at half the height and two-thirds of the width, apparently without an object beneath it.

The museum flag, dated 1935–50, has the eagle’s wings displayed and elevated. This resembles the later form associated with the 1957 change, creating a dating difficulty. A similar website flag is undated and may relate to wartime material, but that connection is uncertain. US Navy 1961 shows the raised-wing form without black upper and lower edges.

This flag reconstruction follows a letterhead dated 15 July 1914.
