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.

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.
Željko Heimer, 30 Jul 2000
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.
Victor Lomantsov, 11 Mar 2000
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.

I think it is a misprint.
