Pardon me for posting, but could someone help me identify a mysterious flag, from a second-hand description?
The person who saw—carried, actually, in a ceremony—the flag in question drew a quick sketch of it here. She said it had a pure red “field,” with a “coat of arms” design near the middle. Inside the Coat of Arms was a white “castle” underneath a purple “crown.”
My own searches of proven fruitless, although the Portuguese flag on the Brandenburg Municipal Flag seemed to come close.
The Flag Identificator turned up some vaguely similar flags, but nothing I’d call a match. It might help to know what kind of ceremony the flag was carried in.
Despite the fact it is listed as “international”, in reviewing the IACLEA website it appears that 90% + of the members are American colleges and universities so I would imagine the chances are pretty good it is a college flag of some kind and not a national or municipal flag.
