Spain, Fascist State. A Large FET DE LA JONS Banner

A large banner of black silk bordered by light orange silk bars on each side. The center presenting an embroidered red Yoke and Arrow, a symbol of the Falange Movement, above sits the embroidered inscription F.E.T. DE LAS J.O.N.S (Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacionalsindicalista). The reverse of the banner bears the backing of the embroidery, with each bordered edge presenting a stitched fold allowing for a pole or bar to be threaded into the material. Measures 145cm (w) x 130cm (h), light general wear, staining and discolouration along the edges, very minor pulls in material, creasing throughout, remains in very fine condition.

Footnote: The FET y de las JONS began as the Spanish Falange, a Falangist party, The Council of National Syndicalist Offensives, a national syndicalist party and Traditionalist Communion, a Catholic monarchist party, three parties that were becoming relevant in Spanish right wing politics before the civil war. The Spanish Falange and the Council of National Syndicalist Offensives were relatively small and merged into the Spanish Falange de la JONS leading up to the 1936 election.
