Not Estonian, no idea why I have this in my house

  1. I have a identical dragon that I got 10 years ago as a souvenir from somewhere (can’t remember where). Are these a thing somewhere or is this just a coincidence?

  2. That’s a student corporation’s flag, if you give this back to them you might get a case of beer. Or 150.

  3. Have you played any Elder Scrolls game? Basically we mark the next victim for assassination like the Dark Brotherhood with a neatly placed Estonian flag.

  4. Well, actually, most answers here are missing something: the flag of Estonia used to be the flag of the Estonian Student Union before evolving into what are Estonia’s national colors and the official flag today. Early in the beginning of Estonia’s independence in 1918, the blue colour on the flag wasn’t the same as today, and it was often light blue or a bit violet, because only since 1922, the top stripe’s flag colour was officially named “cornflower blue”.

    That’s why a lot of really old flags of Estonia have this more purple blue stripe in them. Nobody knew the exact blue tone 🙂 I think this actually is a flag of Estonia but originates from before the time of Soviet occupation and World War II. My grandparents had a similar flag at their house.

    And the current blue colour stripe was officially set only late in 2006 with the Act that specifies the colours in Pantone and CMYK formats.

    So yeah, cornflowers can look violet and this is most likely an old Estonian flag from 1920s or 1930s. You can also see that the colours are a bit washed out because of the age.
