The sleeve patch of a member of the Spanish phalanx

The original patch is in very good collector's condition. An embroidered version of the phalanx sign with silk thread on a dark blue base, made using BeVo technology. This particular sample was used by volunteers from the "Blue Division" (Spanish: División Azul), who fought on the German side during World War II. The emblem is known as the "yoke and arrows" (Spanish Yugo y flechas). The symbol itself dates back to the dynastic union of the Catholic monarchs of Spain, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, who united Spain in the 15th century. The yoke (Yugo) and arrows (flechas) were chosen because the first letters of these words coincided with the initials of the monarchs (Y and F). Guarantee of authenticity.
