Barcelona's St. Eulalia Standard

99GSC009

We are proud to share our latest product in the War of Spanish Succession flags ranges, in all scales. This is the Saint Eulalia's flag of Barcelona town - its most outstanding symbol since 16th century at least, until its final demise in September 11th 1714. There were two variant of this emblem: the "flag" itself, large and square shaped, flown mainly in ceremonial events or outstanding days; and the "pennant" or battleflag, out of a lighter fabric. Its WSS version was rectangular in shape, but older versions seem to have been triangular and showing not St. Eulalia herself, but her allegoric yellow saltire instead.

Besides of the 1:100th, 1:72nd and 1:56th versions of this flag, we have also released a 1:144th scale sheet containing not just this latter, but the flags of two Catalan regiments as well.
