Neapolitan signal for a pilot, shown in Colton's Deliniation of Flags of all Nations (1862), Znamierowski, "The World Encyclopedia of Flags" , opposite the title page.
Phil Nelson, 23 January 2000

At J.W Norie - J.S. Hobbs: Flaggen aller seefahrenden Nationen, 1971[ nor71] (original print 1848):
225 Sicily & Naples Signal for a Pilot - as above and Kingdom of the Two Sicilies - Pilot Signal, The former is displayed a bit too dark, here, whereas the latter has the better location, I guess, but like the other flags on that page has a border on its white edges, though not as pronounced as some of the others.
