as far as I know there is no deignated flag used by philhellenes and I am not sure that the unit at peta battle used any glag at all. During 1822 however the flags were already standarised by decree of the constitutional assembly. So, I suggest to use the well known one sky blue Cross in white field. Tsuba miniatures might help you in this respect, he might have aleady some in production. |

There is reference to the Standard of the Philhellenes which had been presented to them by Mavrocordato. Lost at Peta. No description though. page 101, That Greece might still be free. |

if presented by Mavrokordatos and there is no description it is safe to assume that it was of the Standard Official blue and white flag. Mavrokordatos was "prime minister" and one of the main supporters of the 1st constitutional assembly of GREECE, which has ratified the First constitution on 1.1.1821. The only prime minister WHO took part in a battle (i.e. that of Peta) |
