I have some Qajar Perians in 15mm and so chased down the flag images on the web.

The basic image is a lion holding a sword set against a stylised sun rise.  From memory you can find a version on the old Fanaticus flags site.

I also found an image of an actual Qajar regular army infantry flag. The central image was painted naturally and had a broad band of red above and below the lion.  The background was white.

If I can find it again I'll post a link here.

The regular infantry banners were red with state symbols, the top of the banner was a silvered palm.
Cavalry banners were blue.



The cavalry standard and Infantry colors of regular troops. 1810s. (from the book Druvil)

Russian sources for a later period (mentioned in 1817) say that the banners in the infantry became different colors in different regiments: red, white, yellow, etc. optional.

I've owned that great resource awhile now, thank you.  Still looking for commercial flags.  Some folks sent links to good flags to download and print yourself.
