by Jaume Ollé, 27 October 2001

Arms were regulated with small modifications but not issued de facto (previous CoA was in use). Military flag and Cavalery standart were slighty modified. Stars were supresed and changed to the name of the unity. According the law, 40 cms of larger diameter must include the red border but in practice official specification was not followed.

1932 Flags

by Jaume Ollé, 27 October 2001

Decree `No. 1920 of 12 November 1932, stated that navy ships should use the military flag in greater size (no size was prescribed). Here is a reconstruction according the decree using military flag in 2:3 ratio, and the really used ensign still in use except for minor changes in the arms.
On 11 January 1934, Executive Decree 62 retified the state flag, miliyary flag, cavalry standart and merchant flag. Naval flag is not quoted but the decree referred to flags of military hedquarters, public buildings, merchant ships, fortress etc.... (where state flag must be used). But it is clear that merchant ensign and military flag kept in use, and that the flag without arms must be used (togheter the flag with arms).

1949 Flags

Arms were regulated by Executive Decree No. 3558 of 9 November 1949 . Official pattern was issued. All flags with arms were modified. As before not all the official specifications in flags were followed (images according official specifications and real use).
