Four-striped flag

Erroneous flag of Luxembourg - Image by Jarig Bakker, 18 June 2005, after Vlaggenalbum, 1914

The Vlaggenalbum, published by Droste's cocoa-factory in Haarlem in March 1914, shows the flag of Luxembourg with four horizontal red-white-blue-white stripes.

I have seen this as Landesfarben in I think an edition of Die Orden, Wappen und Flaggen aller Regenten und Staaten [ruh98], together with the flag of Luxembourg. Probably it was interpreted as a flag by the editor of the Vlaggenalbum.

Flag with narrow central stripe

Erroneous flag of Luxembourg - Image by António Martins, 7 November 2005, after the Shi Jie Ge Guo Guo Qi flag chart, 1998

The 1998 flag chart Shi Jie Ge Guo Guo Qi [qcn98] shows the Luxemburg flag with the central stripe only half the width of the others.
