<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 22891, member: 44&quot;]I haven&#039;t had any luck on IDing any of these stick pins. I thought I could easily ID the green flag pins with the black Balkan-type cross, more accurately a beam cross or Nordic cross, with white flimbriation (white strips) - no such luck. No doubt it is German related. The old German War Ensigns had a red or white background with this same black &amp; white cross.</p><p><br /></p><p>1903-1919 German War Ensign</p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_German_Navy#mediaviewer/File:War_Ensign_of_Germany_1903-1918.svg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_German_Navy#mediaviewer/File:War_Ensign_of_Germany_1903-1918.svg" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_German_Navy#mediaviewer/File:War_Ensign_of_Germany_1903-1918.svg</a></p><p>1938-1945 German Ensign</p><p><a href="http://amp.rokket.biz/images/flags/wv_km.png" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://amp.rokket.biz/images/flags/wv_km.png" rel="nofollow">http://amp.rokket.biz/images/flags/wv_km.png</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I thought possibly a previous German colony in Africa that may have participated in the &#039;36 Olympics - again no luck.</p><p><a href="http://www.loeser.us/flags/german2.html#colonial" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.loeser.us/flags/german2.html#colonial" rel="nofollow">http://www.loeser.us/flags/german2.html#colonial</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The only green flag with a black cross similar to this one was one called a Vinnland flag.
