Petserimaa is not one of Estonia's current counties. No county
have an harp as its symbol in this days. Mayby it was an old
county that ceased from existence.
Dov Gutterman, 19 July 1999
Petserimaa was Estonian county from 1920 to 1945. At the
beginning of Soviet occupation this was divided between Pskov region in Russian SFSR and Vorumaa in Estonian SSR. Current
Estonian municipalities of Mikitamäe and Värska in Pulvamaa and
Meremae in Vurumaa and Petseri district in region of Pskov in
Russia are part of former Petserimaa.

Petserimaa = Petseri county. Petseri is former (Estonian) name
of the city, current (Russian) name is Pechory, it's in Pskov
region, Russia now.

the Old Petserimaa / Setumaa flag and coat of arms. The county
was annexed and added to Pihva/Pskov county of Russia in
1940."
Coat of Arms are azure a harp or. The flag is a white over light
blue bicolor with the arms in the center of the upper stripe.
This contradicts Estonia - Subdivisions
(Overview), where the (current and contemporary) pattern of
white over green is given.
