Two federal subjects of the post Soviet Russian Federation use the Sickle and Hammer in the symbols. The Valdemar Ob last has them on its flag and the Bryanisk Oblanst has the on its coat of arms, which is also the the central element of its flag. The former Soviet(now Russian) natitional airline, Aeroflot, continues to use the hammer and sickle in its symbol. The Separist government of Transnistria uses (with minor modifications) the flag and the emblem of the fromer Moldavia SSR which include the hammer and sickle. The Communist Party of China use it as the Party Symbol.

Austria

Normally the national flag is a simple red-white-red, but when the eagle is shown too, it carries the hammer and sickle in its talons.

Now, Austria is definitely wrong.

But here is the flag of Transnistria.

This is the state flag of Austria.

The Austrian Coat of arms, though, has an eagle with a golden hammer and sickle.

Two federal subjects of the post-Soviet Russian Federation use the hammer and sickle in its symbols: The Vladimir Oblast has them on its flag and the Bryansk Oblast has them on its coat of arms, which is also the central element of its flag.

The former Soviet (now Russian) national airline, Aeroflot, continues to use the hammer and sickle in its symbol.

The separatist government of Transnistria uses (with minor modifications) the flag and the emblem of the former Moldavian SSR, which include the hammer and sickle. The flag can also be used without the hammer and sickle in some circumstances, for example on Transnistrian-issued license plates.

The Communist Party of China use it as the party symbol.

Besides, the state of Austria coat of arms is not really the "hammer and sickle" symbol, which my question indicated, or at least wanted to indicate.

Here is the flag of Vladimir Oblast, which I suppose is still in use.

And here is the flag of Bryansk oblast.
