The arms are Brandenburg, I think, impaling Saxony, surmounted with an imperial crown, but the background is Bulgaria INVERTED (colors in reverse order). I can't make it add up to anything or anyone in particular.

Am I looking at an Italian flag?

Somebody used this poor flag as a duvet cover?!? Whoa...

The inversion of the Bulgarian national colors is particularly confusing.

It would seem at first light to be a standard of a member of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, of the branch from which Tsars of Bulgaria were drawn; but I can't find any standard for a relative of Simeon II looking like this!

A flag flown upside down is a recognized signal of distress. Some royal personage or royal wannabe having a hard time; maybe in exile or some such?

Used the colors in that order on their flag for a period...

That's all I've got...
