According to Symbols of Dagestan, by Khalil-Bek Musayal, 1912. There are several “reconstructions” of various Tarki flags, including one of a nice tricolor, all of which seem to be unlikely and too modern.

All the imams were Avars from Dagestan, Imamate was not a Chechen polity. Even Chechen imam of 1834, Tashev, was a Kumyk from Dagestan. Association of Chechens with Imamate is post-1991 trend.
