Two German sources present versions of a chevron flag. Compared with the FOTW version, the Brockhaus 1902 plate has a wider, less sharply angled chevron whose top does not touch the flag’s upper edge. Brockhaus identifies North Pacific Steamship of Hong-kong. Rosanoski warns that these flags may therefore belong to an entirely different company from the American West Coast operator.
No inferred Great Northern or US-company relationship.
