Flag of Los Andes Army (1817-1818), used by the independentist army
of Rio de la Plata and Chilean provinces, in the Andes region.
Jaume Ollé, 21 Sep 1996
Following Rosenkrantz’s theory
[rkz97], the
Justicialist Flag was designed
with two vertical
stripes flag because in the 1940s (when the Peronist
Flag was created), the general idea was that San Martin’s
Andes’ Army’s Flags
had been that way, with an horizontal positioned coat
of arms. Nowadays after more research, some scholars
think that the Andes’ Army’s Flag was a two horizontal
stripes flag with the coat of arms in a normal
position. According to this new theory only a part of
the original Andes’ Army’s flag is preserved.

The correct sizes are 122 × 144 cm, from a photo of the original flag
that I took in a museum.
