Any reason why the text on the ribbon is abbreviated and misspelled? (It's Компания, not Кампания) Hellerick (talk) 03:07, 25 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Сокращённое название на утверждённом Александром I рисунке флага. Однако, там явно читается "компа". --Skrod (talk) 08:06, 30 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

About reconstruction edit

 

Got to point out that though the current reconstruction is quiet precise, it bears mistakenly written company name. I can understand that the source of the mistake was the original sketchup (right picture) signed by Alexander I the text from which was transcribed very carefully by modern reconstructors.

 

However:
1. There is another (late) version of the flag that contains actual full ribbon inscription (left picture).
2. There are doubts that the ruler of the empire would sighn up the flag mockup with simply mistaken russian inscription.

Long story short, the original ribbon inscription would be as follows: «Россійской Американской Компаніи». — Preceding unsigned comment added by Чернышёв Егор Евгеньевич (talk • contribs) 05:15, 15 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Desing of the Eagle edit

Maybe the Flag should use this design for the Eagle since it seems historical more accurate File:Flag_of_the_Russian-American_Company,_1806_Replica.jpg --DarkoRatic (talk) 19:22, 4 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Surely the current eagle design is kind rough, but it obviously was made with some more simple vector or other internet adopted shapes. It surely can have another more percise design, but who would do it? The exact design should obvously be some middle point between known historical images wth correct colors and inscribtions.
