A lot of national flags are similar and easily confused. For instance, the colours blue, white and red are very common, often in a tricolour format. It would be interesting to know how many flags are made up of these three colours ... any data-heads out there willing to take this on? :lol:


It's been done.

Are you interested in flags? I have a handkerchief that shows all the British naval signal flags and what they mean. :roll:

Yes!! ! ! !


Me too! If you're interested I'll try and scan my handkerchief (don't worry, it's perfectly clean! :lol: ) and show it to you. Although I expect there are charts of British Navy flags published already, probably somewhere like Wikipedia.

I'm a flag nut, no doubt of it. My obsession extends to coats of arms as well. Actually all sorts of signs, traffic signs in particular, licence plates, military insignia, business logos... You name it.

:D :D :D

World War II German SS/SD insignia fascinate me. I lived in Germany in the 1970s/80s, and sometimes saw them them covertly for sale in antique shops, flea markets etc - Death's Head badges, lightning flashes, unit insignia. But the Germans were always rather cautious about displaying them openly, and they were extremely expensive.
