Spanish Falange Flag - Blue Division?

[tdurbinmas]

Here is a photo of a recently purchased Spanish flag, Blue Division or other? It is a wool linen flag approximately 40" x 48" with sewn panels and a very rudimentary bonaz-style embroidered yoke and arrows. It has a rope in the canvas header with loops. There are no markings on the header, it does look like a WW2 period piece. I got no background on it and it came from Bulgaria.

Can you or anyone else help with information about this type of flag?

Thanks,

Thom

Hello Thom:
IMO, a very nice looking WW2 era Spanish Fascist
Flange Party banner, especially with the chain stitched
center arrows and yoke emblem. Likely tall pole flown.

Hello, it seems an early Falange flag, but not specifically from WWII period. Impossible to determinate without solid provenance. This flag could be made on 1950 decade.

White arrows & yoke = WW2 era ???

Hello Mike:
IMO the white Flange arrows & yoke = WW2 era ,
as per the posted FOTW info and my FET HQ chain
stitched standard example. What do you think?

Hello, I do not know any specific pattern of falange flags for the specific period of the WWII. Actually Spain didn't participate directly in the war, except for the Blue Division. On the other hand, the Spanish economy right after the war was battered and I do not understand this complex elaboration for that period.
Perhaps I am wrong…
In any case an early nice flag without doubt.

Hello, these photos shows falange flags with red arrows and yoke. Photo 1 and 2 are dated on 1940, and the other with Blue División volunteers. All photo are in b/w but is easy to see that the arrows are not White.

This flag is offered in Spain, like Spanich civil war piece, so pre-WWII. So I don't really know if color of arrows depends of period or there is another criteria.

Hello Antonio:
Online translation:
"There are no patterns to follow."
Wondering what you are saying?

(below) Do you have any trooping photos of
this Spanish Flange HQ Standard on parade.

'No hay patrones a seguir' can also be translated as 'There are no bosses to follow', which seems ironic, but then, you have the socialism in National Socialism.

The translation is: there are not a "colour" pattern for a specific period.
