Spanish Civil War Republican Tricolor Flag with Mural Crown Crest

Description

147 x 68 cm applied construction red, yellow and purple cotton tricolor Spanish government flag of the 1931 to 1939 period. Has a republican state crest with a mural crown printed on both sides in the center of the yellow bar. There are no attachments on the hoist so the flag was probably intended to be tacked directly to a pole or wall. After the failure and defeat of the Republic in 1939, it was a little dangerous to have one of these flags, which may account for their rarity today. This flag has only light storage wear with very bright colors. See my other auctions for more Spanish Civil War items. Photos are both the original auction and ones taken in my office.
