Translation of the text:
"Several of these flag designs have been described only in written form, so only a few have flown as real flags. As such the exact ratios or colors are unknown. Other proposals have also been filed, but in such an obscure manner that they have not been succesfully reconstructed. This collection has been reconstructed by Olof Eriksson 13th February 1972."
