shows this flag as Guadeloupe flag. However they state:
"This flag of Guadeloupe is intended for representational
purposes and no claim to technical accuracy is made."
Jarig Bakker, 18 January 2001
The flag shown at Theodora.com
as Guadeloupe flag is that of the Union Populaire de Liberacion
de Guadeloupe, founded in 1978. Although this flag was proposed
to become national flag. It looks quite similar to Suriname.

The Union Populaire pour la Libération de la Guadeloupe
(UPLG) was founded in 1978 by Claude Makouke. The UPLG's proposal
for the national flag of Guadeloupe is the same as the party's
own flag, but with the star half the size .The ratio of both is
1:2. Source: a communication from Lucien Philippe.
Jaume Olle', 28 February 1998
Flag similar to the UPLG flag was proposed to the Congress of
1984 as national flag. Ratio is 1:2. Only minor differences exist
between the proposed national flag and the flag of UPLG (e.g.
size of the star which is bigger in the UPLG flag)

by David Martucci & Antonio Martins
At the World Team Olympiad of Bridge, last October (in Rhodes, Greece), Guadeloupe was participating and the flag masts at the venue had one flag I did not recognize. Since it was hoisted between Greece and Hong Kong I concluded that it must have represented Guadeloupe:
Four equal horizontal bands: green, red, green, red, with a black arrow at the hoist (45 degrees inclination). In the arrow were two pieces of chain (yellow), each with three black holes, apparently broken at the arrow point.
Herman De Wael, 16 January 1997
This is the flag of the People's Movement for an Independent
Guadeloupe (MPGI).
Dave Martucci, 22 January 1997
The MPGI was created in 1982 and is directed by L. Reinette
Jaume Olle, 15 April 1997
This flag is listed under number 195 at the chart "Flags
of Aspirant Peoples" [asp] as :
"Guadeloupe (People's Movement for an Independent Guadeloupe
[MPGI] - French Overseas Department, Caribbean", but with
proportion 1:2.

The Cuban pattern is the flag of the National Liberation Front
(FLNG), reported in Flag Bulletin Newsletter Vol. III, No. 1 (I
think around 1964?). Does it still exist?
