The website located by Antonio Guttierez at has an Estonian section where we see a stamp, Nr. 131 / 1938, with the Paldiski or "Baltischport" arms at <h-u-m-rueegg.li>:  
- in 'mirror image' compared to actual version  
- the little flag on the tower, surely the national Estonian flag, has disappeared.  
Undoubtedly the flag was removed in Soviet times but it seems odd to me that it did not reappear after Estonia regained independence."
