The flag of the Macedonian fighter Elias Deligiannakis can be seen in the National Historical Museum, Old Parliament, Room IX, in Athens.
The flag is square, blue with a white cross and a dark grey double-headed eagle inscribed in a dark grey circle. The flag has a golden fringe.
The yellow writing above the circle reads Amunesthai peri patris, Fight for the fatherland
