Flags in 1926-1936

Kirghizia was ASSR only in 1926-1936. In that times Kyrgyz flags did not exist.

Possible flag 1929-1937

Flag of Kyrgyz SSR in 1937 image by Janis Lasmanis, 8 December 2020

The Draft constitution of 1929 (not confirmed by RSFSR) described the flag. Janis found the drawing of that on the web: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirghiz_Autonomous_Socialist_Soviet_Republic_(1926-36)

Vexillographia.ru writes that it is not known whether this flag was actually used.

Flag of 1937

Flag of Kyrgyz SSR in 1937 image by Mark Sensen, 09 May 2000

Red with in the upper hoist yellow name in serif in both Kirgiz script (?) (Kirgiz SSR I presume) and cyrillic (Kirgizskaja SSR).
Mark Sensen, 25 May 1996

Actually, it is yes Kyrgyz language, but the script is latin — simply with two unusual characters that coincidently show in the very word "kyrgyz"…
António Martins, 15 December 1999

In the famous book of K. Ivanov Flagi gosudarstv mira [iva71] there’s a mistaken drawing of this flag: Inscription on state flag of 1937 is not correct. Indeed, the first letter in the word "Kyrgyz" (in Kyrgyz language, Latin characters) is the Latin letter "Q".
