About the Flag

PNOS (Partei National Orientierter Schweizer)
PSN (Parti des Suisses Nationalistes)
(Party of Nationally Oriented Suiss)

The PNOS is a right-extremist party mainly in the German-speaking parts of Switzerland, founded in 2000. It has no parliamentary representation. Its links to the fascist National Front (Nationale Front) of the 1930s can be seen in its use of the so-called Old-Swiss Cross, a white cross throughout on a red field. [1]

The party flag proper adds a morning star to this flag. [2]

Flag of the Swiss Nationalist Party (Partei der National Orientierter Schweizer, PNOS).
Website: http://www.pnos.ch/
The PNOS is a "far-right" nationalist party. They use the Swiss national flag but the white cross is fimbriated in black, with the letters P,N,O and S in the extremes of the cross and a medieval war mace in the center. The flag uses same colours and style than other extreme right and neo-nazi parties. The PNOS was formed in 2000 and only recently they obtain some representative in local elections at Langenthal (Berne) and now in Günsberg (Solothurn).

The flag seen on the site at http://www.pnos.ch/upload/2005-05-01_kaiserstuhl.jpg (no longer available) seems bit different than  what is described above: it is a white cross throughout on red with the mace in the middle. What image above seems to be simply
the logo.
