File talk:War Ensign of Germany (1903–1919).svg

I haven't been able to find any sources for this flag, does anyone have any? The sources that I could find from this site https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/de1871~w.html don't seem to corroborate the change. Was it common for flags to have a gradient on them like the eagle has on his left leg? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazyusername (talk • contribs) 15:42, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
