P.B.

This appears to contain the colours and charges of the shield from the arms of Amsterdam, so presumably is from some official waterways body in that city?

That is of course correct, but I doubt that any officialdom is connected to this. It might be, but there are no bans from anybody using it on his boat, house or bicycle when (s)he likes so.

Get yours from any souvenir shop in the city!

It is certainly Amsterdam, but I doubt if it has a military connection.

No idea what it means, but you can see the same thing painted here (with the X design too).

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the earlier post, that explains it!
