I thought the French flag was white?

This one is:

The "fleur de lis" is actually a stylized spear point with two guards so that one can remove it quickly from the guy you just killed to do another. It's a weapon. This WAS France.

Sorry, not true - it's not a weapon, it's a stylized flower. As a weapon, it would be horribly pathetic - no penetration, broad, easily ensnared, easily blocked with minimal armor. You would do better with a staff, spear or a club. You might want to read up on the "Fleur de lis" here.
