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.

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).

All the flags are based on the so-called Old Swiss Cross, a white cross
throughout (instead of couped) on red. The party uses this flag without any
other additions, however these come in two slightly different versions: the one
with a thinner cross (about 1/7) [1,2,3,4,5,6], the other one with a slightly
thicker cross (about 1/5) [7,8,9].
The main party flag however shows the
morning star on the "Old Swiss Cross" flag [1,5,7,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16].

Another version shows the letters of the party abbreviation in the corners of the "Old Swiss Cross" flag [17,18,19].

The flag bears the letters PNS only, since the abbreviation is actually that
of the French-language name of the party - Parti
Nationaliste Suisse (Swiss Nationalist Party).
