Municipal flag of Mengeš

According to Roger Gogala [gog02], the flag of Mengeš is vertically hoisted, vertically divided blue-white with the municipal coat of arms slightly off-set to the top and with tails at the fly (that is with an unusual trapezoidal indentation).
The flag is said to be in size of 80 cm x 240 cm with the indentation measuring 40 cm x 20 cm. The coat of arms is set so that the field above it forms a square, while the width of the upper edge of the coat of arms is 1/2 the width of the flag.

Stanič & Jakopič [j2s05] give the colour specifications as:
- Blue: HKS 42 / RAL 5002 / Pantone 287c / Folija Mactac 9839-12
- Red: HKS 15 / RAL 3000 / Pantone 1805c / Folija Mactac 9859-00
- White: RAL 9003 / Folija Mactac 9829-00 / C345 (sic)

Gogala shows the coat of arms of Mengeš as a white shield outlined in red with a blue device which seems to be made of two interwoven and attached fishing hooks, called dvojni trnek (double fishing hook?).
