    Default House Flag Query

    This Zippo lighter I found amongst my dads possessions after he crossed the bar. Any idea what the Co. flag is????

    Reply from another forums states it is not a house flag, but the flag of the British Fascist Party formed in 1932.

    Found it -:

    " The “Circled Flash” logo was first used by Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists in the 30s and 40s. After the BUF collapsed it passed out of use until recently, when it was resurrected by a tiny group of Mosleyite wannabes called the New British Union. Very rare, but becoming more common with the rise of openly fascist groups such as National Action. "

    See HERE you have to scroll down a bit to reach the flag.

    A bit of useless knowledge. Zapatas war cry or call to arms “ It doesn’t matter we’re with Zapata “. JS

    The flash is reminiscent of the 'SS' logo, double lightening strike insignia worn on the uniform collars of the SS Brigade
