In war time (doubtful)
by Zeljko Heimer, 20 May 2001
Ratio 2:3. Adopted: 12 November 1932. In use except small
changes of the shield.
Jaume Ollé, 25 July 1996
Like the National Flag, with a white circle in the center,
with the Coat of Arms inside.
Jan Zrzavy, 16 January 1998
'Pavillons nationaux et marques distinctives' [pay00], Fig. 2 (naval ensign) - Note
1 says in wartime it have red border around the disk containing
the Coat of Arms.
Zeljko Heimer, 9 January 2001
On <www.presidencia.gov.co>,
there is the law on the national flag in spanish, but as far as I
have understood in quick glance, it deals quite detailed
(centimeters-wise) on the national flag and civil and war
ensigns, as well as the "war flag for wartime" (as it
is explained in Album) with red circle around the white disk with
Coat of Arms.
Is this indeed the "war flag for wartime", or just the
"usual" war ensign? It seems that the inscription in
the red annulet is prescribed after all, and not "unofficial
addition" as it is hinted here.

If Zeljko is referring to Article 3 of the decree which
describes the "bandera de guerra en uso en el
eje'rcito," a "bandera de guerra" in this context
normally means simply a military color, not a flag flown only in
wartime.
Joe McMillan, 14 May 2001
According to [pay00] - Naval
Ensign. ---/--W 2:3: National flag with a white disk (1/2 the
hoist in diameter) with the Coat of Arms on it. Note to the
figure explains that "during war time, the coat of arms is
surrounded by a red ring 5 cm wide". The translation of the
abovementioned laws would clear this up a bit, but 5 cm should be
considered relative to 1.30 m. hoist of naval flags and it also
include the name of the unit hoisting the flag in yellow letters.
Also, the "war time" is highly doubtful - probably
mistranslation.

Red ring around white disc with Coat of Arms is according to
Smith and others the President's flag.
My informations: naval ensign: 300 x 200 cm., white disc with
Coat of Arms is 30 cm. diameter. Red ring is around in the
warflag on land, but this flag is 135 x 100 cm., white disc 30
cm., red ring 5 cm.
Ralf Stelter, 17 May 2001
On presidential flag the red ring is smaller in diameter then
the naval ensign and not reaching (or just touching, depending on
source) the red stripe.
