This flag is attribued to Nicaragua by Emil Dreyer, W.
Crampton and The Catalan Enciclopaedya. Crampton said that it was
adopted in April 1854, but this is a mistake. If exist, the flag
should be in use between 1852 and 1854.

The 1852 flag is wrong, but there was a quite similar one in
use.

This flag came from Emil Dreyer (in FM 22) and Crampton (in
Flags of the World). Crampton dated it in April 1854 but I moved
the date because I have the law of the flag of 1854. IMHO
in1849-1854 the federal flag was used , but I can't
supress the flag reported by Crampton because I don't have proven
information about the years 1849-1854

Abolished: After some years.

The 1854 flag was not readopted in 1857 as it was still in
legal use . The constitution of 1858 under President Toma's
Marti'nez readopts the B-W-B flag for Nicaragua.

I believe that betwwen 1856 and 1857, the 1854 flag was de
facto out of use. Martinez (1857-67) , in general, maintained the
old style. I believe that B-W-B flag was readopted by president
Guzman, a liberal, c. 1969

Ratio 2:3 Adopted: c. July 1856. Abolished: May 1857. The flag
was used by a government which was in strugle against the legal
one. The President was the american W. Walker
Jaume Olle'
The Walker flag is correct but the dates given are in
question. But it was not a national flag, as even Mr. Walker used
the Blue-White-Blue flag as national flag! He even used a Coat of
Arms similar to the later arms. Political reasons!

I agree. In fact in this era, the B-W-B flag wasn't not
national flag at all, but only a flag of one of the parties in
the civil war

I just saw a bit bizarre movie named "Walker". I
