Pre 1941 state flag
by Thanh-T�m L� and Ant�nio Martins, 07 Apr 2000
1913: In the state ensign the sun is only as tall
as the white stripe, and it is closer to the hoist.
1941: Same as today.
Nathan Augustine, 05 Dec 1995
Does this mean that once the sun was not �only as tall
as the white stripe�, i.e., it was wider? Because
the current flag has the sun definitely slightly smaller
than the white stripe...
Ant�nio Martins, 14 May 1999
In Meyers Konversations-Lexikon [mkL97],
there is a plate with flags of the states, and accompanying it a list
with descriptions of flags (in German): �Republic of Argentina:
Blue-white-blue horizontal. The white has a golden sun in first third
of the white stripe.�
Željko Heimer, 16 Sep 1996
On an 1864 flag chart, Argentina however is shown
with a (very) offset "sun of May".
Santiago Dotor, 29 Dec 1999
The argentine state ensign had an off set sun in
1913-1941. Both references are older (1897 and 1864),
but perhaps this flag goes back several years as a
variant or with other meaning (merchant ensign?).
