Original Spanish WWII Army of Spanish Morocco Velvet & Bullion Car Pennant Banner Flag - 13 ¼ x 13 ½”
-
Original Item. Only One Available. The Army of Africa, also known as the Army of Spanish Morocco, was a field army of the Spanish Army that garrisoned the Spanish protectorate in Morocco from 1912 until Morocco's independence in 1956. At the start of the 20th century, the Spanish Empire's colonial possessions in Africa comprised Morocco, Spanish Sahara, Ifni, Cape Juby and Spanish Guinea. Spanish Morocco was the closest Spanish colonial territory to mainland Spain and the most difficult to control. A major Moroccan revolt against both Spanish and French colonial rule began in 1921, with the destruction of a Spanish army at Annual. The Rif tribes were finally subdued only with difficulty by substantial Franco-Spanish forces after several years of fighting.
This is a very lovely banner, likely meant for use on an Army car by troops of the Army of Spanish Morocco. One side bears the Emblem of the Spanish Army, a Crown over a Golden Eagle with a sword in the center, all in gorgeous bullion construction. The reverse side bears the diamond-shaped insignia of the Army of Spanish Morocco, a bullion crossed musket & sword below a horn on red velvet backing. The border of the diamond is also bullion.
The base flag is a blue satin material with a gold tape border. There are three small leather straps and buckles on one end for attachment to a car. One end has two woven blue straps. There is heavy staining on the eagle side with moderate wear overall.
The banner measures 13 ¼ x 13 ½” not counting the straps.
A great Spanish Army in Morocco car pennant flag, ready for further research and display.
