Estonian Defence League

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.
