are some Polish municipal flags. I've used the Coat of Arms of Malbork on Adam
Kromer's page for this image.
Malbork (German: Marienburg in West Preussen) received townrights
in 1276. It was the seat of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights 1307-1457.
Polish since 1466; to Prussia 1772; assigned to Poland by the Potsdam Conference
in 1945. It is in North Poland, Malbork county, Pomorskie vojvodship, with
(1981) 34.892 inhabitants.

Malbork historical flag?
Malbork: I guess this is only the Teutonic castle's historical flag: White,
with a gold Scandinavian cross, bordered with black and with edges. Centered
on the cross sideways, a gold shield with black eagle (seems like a rendition
of the german coat of arms). A dent above and under the cross on
the fly. I saw the flag displayed vertically, so that the shield
is normally viewed.
