An early Russian flag shown in a 1695 Dutch flag book. Actual historical use of this design is doubtful.
The flag book by Carel Allard (Amsterdam, 1695), three Russian flags are shown:
horizontal white-blue-red, over all (shifted to the hoist) a golden double headed eagle with a red shield (with St.George, without the dragon) on its chest and a golden crown over its heads. Caption: Czar of Moscovia.
horizontal white-blue-red, over all a blue saltire. Ratio of the flag aprox. 1:3. Caption: Other flag of Czar of Moscovia.
quarterly red and white, a blue cross over all. Caption: another Moscovian flag.
