I have found interesting commemorative - "5 years of Turkmen SSR. 1924-1929" 
with an image of the state flag - with letters TSSC (two last letters with 
diacritical marks), dots after each letter. As far as I know this variant was 
not shown in vex literature (we know about flags only with the TSSR 
abbreviation).

The use of the flag in 1929 is highly likely. The abbreviation in Latin letters 
"T.S.Ş.Ç." stands for the name TУRKMENISTAN SOTSIALIST ŞURALAR ÇEMHURIJETI in 
Turkmen language. The version T.C.C.P. in Cyrillic letters is the variant in 
Russian language.

Red with in the upper hoist red star fimbriated yellow above
a yellow hammer and sickle, so the same as the USSR!

This flag was replaced by a new one 
in 1 August 1953.
