The battalions of Estonian defence forces have historical
connections to the pre-war battalions, they have taken the old
names and old symbols (from the 1930es) of them.

Estonian Defence League (Eesti Kaitseliit): Home Guard
organization. Silver eagle facing sinister (i.e. the fly) holding
a sword and a shield (Estonian Coat of Arms) on a yellow
background. The version illustrated is intended to be hoisted
from outdoor flagpoles; a similar design with a smaller badge
appears on the reverse side of each EDL regional unit (Malev)
flag, so that the eagle, still facing sinister, faces the hoist,
while the obverse side has a different design for each flag.

I saw this flag in a photo
of a special report about Estonian Armed Forces at
"Defensa" (Defence Magazine). The Noored Kotkad is the
young wing of the National Guard of Estonia.There ia a B/W photo
of the President of Estonia leaning in front of the Noored Kotkad
flag to show respect.
