Wilhelm E. F. Schmidt

image by Jorge Candeias, 22 Mar 1999

Wilhelm E. F. Schmidt GmbH - White with a blue horizontal stripe near the top and a red horizontal stripe near the bottom. In the center, the letters 'SCH' in black. The original image was too small to be sure, but it looks like the red stripe is about twice as wide as the blue one.

W. H. P. Schmidt(?)

image and scan by Jorge Candeias, 29 Dec 2004

The flag is quartered per saltire with the top quarter black, the bottom quarter red and the other two white. In the center there's a white 5-pointed star, with a broad border that I think is blue (and here's the only element of doubt in the flag). On the white quarters two black seriffed initials W and S complete the design.
The caption reads W. H. P. Schmidt. There's some doubt here as well: the W could also ne an N.
