Zippo San Juan Eagle Engraving

A little history


Isabella the Catholic had a great devotion to Saint John, and before being proclaimed queen, included in his personal shield the eagle that represented this evangelist, to pay homage.

With the Uprising of July 18, 1936, a Decree of August 29 of that year, in its unique article, it provided that: "The red and yellow flag is restored as the Flag of Spain"; as for the coat of arms, another Decree of February 2, 1938, in its article 1, determined that:

"The shield of Spain is constituted with the heraldry of the Catholic Monarchs, replacing the arms of Sicily with those of the former Kingdom of Navarre, with which the blazons of the groupings of medieval states that constitute the current Spain are integrated".

National Flag (1938-1945).
