This flag is drawn by some kind of Mario Fabretto. Is he a famous vexilographer or just an amateur who can draw on a computer? Mario Fabretto claims that the flag was used in 1834. However, most of the flag atlases published in the second half of the 19th century (1849, 1850, 1855, 1858, 1860, 1862, 1878) contain other flags of the Wallachian principality. The eagle is usually black (dark blue, bluish black). Moreover, the author himself is not talking about white, but about a blue eagle: The official description said that the civil ensign was "... yellow and red, with stars and a light blue bird ...". The flag had a yellow field on which was placed the Wallachian eagle, crowned, with a cross in its beak, holding a sword and a scepter; the canton was the same as for the Moldavian civil ensign, red with three white stars. In the cited sources, there are no stars with such an arrangement in two rows. Thus, there is no good reason to consider this flag real, or at least typical of Wallachia. --Лобачев Владимир (talk) 08:18, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
