Description

The central shield is an erroneous interpretation of the Ordinance of February 1938, where a simplified shield was also approved, which made many flags of the time use shields which did not follow the Ordinance. Below the shield, the caption "BON CAZADORES MÑA BARCELONA N° 5" in black. Source: the original Colour, in deposited at the Military Museum of Barcelona (Montjuïc).
