There was a North Caucasian Emirate, centered in the present-day
republic of Daghestan.
Harald Müller, 08 May 1996
This Emirate was created in Vedeno, in current
Chechnya.

The “Official” Emirate flag is probably the one described
by Trembicky, but later patterns show the flag with five
pointed stars. First flags were probably manufactured from the sponsors
of emirate: Georgia and Azerbaijan. [There were specific flags for the
Chechen and the
Ingush within the Emirate.]
Bolshevik promises to the Avars, Chechen,
Ingush etc., for a wide autonomy, changed the alliances. After that the
Bolshevik take Makhachkala (30-3-1920) flags must be manufactured locally
(or in houses) and pattern most followed was surely the five pointed stars.
13 November 1920 emirate was ended de facto. Resistance in the mountains
follow until May 1921, and flag disappeared for always.

On coins and banknotes of this state there are the national symbols:
Znamierowski [zna99] shows (page 106) a
flag for «Dagestan (1918-21)» which fits perfectly… It is green, and the
lying crescent and the 3 stars are white.

The article “Flags of non-Russian peoples under soviet rule”
[tbc69] gives a different information: The
flag is described as «Daghestani flag» as green with a white crescent (horns
towards the top of the flag) encompassing three white four-pointed
stars, arranged one and two.

We now know that several patterns are in use.
