Gear knob identity
I feel I should know who made this but can't find a similar one anywhere. It is alloy and I think (but not certain) that the right hand flag was originally a Union flag but it has been rubbed clear. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hopefully this link to the photograph will work better:
