Peru - Rank Flags
Peruvian Armed Forces Joint Command (Comando Conjunto de las Fuerzas
Armadas): It is an interesting flag, of wich we knew other examples, also
in South America: the cloth is rectangular and not very stiff but the flag is
designed to be hoisted indoors, so the emblem is aligned to the descending
diagonal, from top hoist to bottom fly. This is a red flag with the
Joint Command emblem, which aptly joins the sword of the
Army, the cross anchors of the
Navy, wings for the Air Force
and the national coat of arms, under the name of the
entity in white capitals arched above it.

Jaume’s detail of the emblem, in an oval red background (apparently
some kind of plaque) with lettering, not simply as a flag detail, shows blue
sword (with green hilt!) and anchors, while his flag shows them in golden.

The Album 2000 [pay00] shows a
2:3 white flag with red border and in the middle the emblem of the Armed
Forces and four yellow Suns one in each corner. The emblem consists of the
shield of the national arms (i.e. no wreaths) superimposed on golden upright
sword, wings and two anchors. The border here is pictured about 1/8 of hoist,
as is for all subsequent flags of this pattern. This must be relatively recent
office, and therefore the flag too.

Flaggenbuch [neu39] shows a
2:3 white flag with red border surrounded with white (i.e. a red
orle), and in the middle a blue anchor and two yellow Suns, on top and
bottom hoist corners. This rank probably matches today the position of
the Chief of Naval Staff, but in the mean
time he got an additional Sun.

Prefect of a Department

Flaggenbuch [neu39] shows a
2:3 white flag with red orle as above with three Suns set horizontally
in along the middle. The distance between the sun’s centers is 21
units. I wander if Prefect of a Department
is military or civilian position? If it is civilian,
may be this flag or something similar is still used, but defined in some
other sources currently not available to us. (Just guessing.)
