On land the president uses the
national flag with the
Sun of May.

The presidential Navy rank flag — or better the
naval rank flag of the Supreme
Commander of the Argentine Armed forces, who is inherently
the President.

multicolored. Ratio: 2:3. I don’t know the date of adoption,
but it was in use before 1910.

The President’s Standard is light blue, with a
badge in the centre and a white five-pointed star
in each of the four corners. This badge consists
of an oval shield, divided into halves, the top being
light blue and the lower white. Overall are two hands
grasping a staff on which is a red cap of liberty.
Above is a golden sun, and the shield is surrounded
by a laurel wreath, which, unlike most wreaths used
in a similar position, partly obscures the face of
the sun.

In Album des Pavillons

ensign is dark blue field, phrygian cap yellow,
proportion 3:4.

The argentine presidential ensign image in ratio 2:3 shows in the
Flaggenbuch 1905 [ruh05]. But
I have had the chance of learning that this 1905 edition is not very
accurate — nothing to do with the 1939
edition compiled by Neubecker.

Some sources, like Album 1995
issue, Smith’s 1980 book, and
Flagbulletin, shown the flag with dark
blue background. If Ihave understood the discussions here rightly,
the dark blue flag was never used nor correct — it was always the
light blue (though it seems that in time of WWII the proportion was
slightly different, 9:10).
