Own work. Schedule #2 of Guyana's Constitution initially included a crude black and white image and description of the flag. Scans of Schedule #2 (from an old printed copy of the constitution) are visible in: 2001 Bill 7 2001 and Act 6 2001
Notes:
Issues:
Given the inconsistencies in the numbers, the only reasonable choice is to ignore them altogether. At some point in time, the constitution was converted to electronic media (probably via OCR). Here are copies from 1998 and 2012: The last line of Schedule #2 now reads: . Notice how 'white 6%' got converted to 'white 67"'. 'black 1% is now 'black 1"'. Red is still missing. Not helpful. The 1998 version of the constitution shows a colour image with white and black fimbriations approximately equal in width. The 2012 version of the constitution shows a colour image with the black fimbriation about twice as wide as the white one. The corners of the flag are not drawn correctly which makes the entire image seem illegitiment. There is no evidence that either of these colour images (1998 or 2012) were ever approved by an Act of Parliament. The flag was designed by Whitney Smith. There is an old photograph of him holding the flag here: https://guyanachronicle.com/2016/11/24/designer-of-golden-arrowhead-passes-on/. Again we can see that the white fimbriation is thinner than the black one. The flag in that photo does not seem to be either 3:5 or 1:2, but that may just be due to camera angles. Ultimately this construction sheet is based off of measurements from the black and white image from the old printed copy of the constitution.
For what it is worth, the colour proportions of the flag on this (3:5) construction sheet and the matching (1:2) construction sheet are listed here:
