Apologies to old forum members, I tried this a few years ago by scanning, remembered I have a camera now. I don't think we ever resolved this other than that apparently some merchants created their own versions of flags back then.



This is a picture of a flag my father had with his things I found after he died. My guess is that it might be an old Nova Scotia flag. He enlisted with the Royal Air Force and was sent to Imperial, California for British Refresher School flight training. Then he took a train to Moncton, New Brunswick to await a ship from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Scotland in April 1942.

My first guess is this was a Nova Scotia flag of the times since his grandfather came from Nova Scotia...fish, boats, on the crest. But could also be New Brunswick. Thought it could be Alberta but don't think there'd be fish and boats on the crest. Or a version of the old Canadian flag.

Here's a close up of the crest



The sort of fleur de lis in the top right make me think Nova Scotia too.

Thanks for any help and apologies if I just forgot what we figured out a few years ago...but don't think we did...did we....?
