Royal Standard of the king of Italy from circa 1905 onward
Theo van der Zalm, 10 July 2000

It is almost identical to those shown in Flaggenbuch 1939, except that here the shade of blue appears to be darker
Santiago Dotor, 11 July 2000

After 1880 until 1946 the standards were defined as for Royal Decree of 28 November 1880. The Royal Standard was square, blue, with a crowned eagle amid, the shield of Savoy on his breast, all encircled by the collar of SS. Annunziata. A royal crown in each corner

Simon's image is incorrect. An imperial German 1892-1918 eagle combined with a 'generic' style of royal crown and a collar which does not show the 'FERT' acronym of the House of Savoy. The scan of the Royal Standard is more accurate.

A recent Italian monarchist convention (that took place in the Roman Capitol, the palace of the mayor of Rome), with some members of the (former) royal family, had people with the Royal Standard (the blue one with the black eagle) and the common flag of Italy with the royal arms. The use of the flag with the crown is common among royalists although during the kingdom (1848-1946) flags showing the crown were used for military use. The royal standard is in the slide-show section at http://www.monarchia.it/attivitasvolte_20111126_roma.html.
