I think its a "Salamander" ..... not a Dragon.

Probably has a "French" connection?....... possibly King Francois the 1st.... Francis was an ally of Suleiman the Magnificent, with whom he formed the Franco-Ottoman alliance. His great rivals were King Henry VIII of England and Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.

The Salamander was the badge of King Francis the 1st.


If it is Military it might be something to do with the French Army?

The Americans have a chemical Unit that have the Salamander as their symbol .... 98th Chemical Btn?

It could be Indonesian Military as well?
