Today I was at a flea market, and I happened to purchase an interesting jacket. It seems to be a normal military jacket, but on the shoulders there is an interesting emblem. I've never seen any emblem like it before and I was wondering if anyone can identify it.

Here's a picture:

Originally I thought that it was the emblem of the Knights Hospitaller, but they don't quite seem to match:

It's not the most rare type of insignia - eagle, sword and crown. Similar symbols are used together in many countries, but I'd say it's one of them Spanish Eagles. Looks a bit large for a coat though, could be a cap insignia.

Here's a pic, what do you think?

That's it! Thanks, you are truly a king among men. :king:

:worshp: :worshp: :worshp:

BTW in Spanish insignia that red sword on the eagle inherits from the ages of their Inquisition. :cry::whipped: :mwaha:

Doesn't surprise me. The cross of St. James (red sword) has been used since the Knightly order of Santiago.
