May 1924 and 62 of 11 January 1934, being presidents of the
Republic doctors Pedro Noel Ospina and Enrique Olaya Herrera,

On 17 May 1924, a decree confirmed the state flag and
established it officially also as naval ensign (in fact
already used after 1906).

Arms were regulated with small modifications but not issued de
facto (previous CoA was in use). Military flag and Cavalery
standart were slighty modified. Stars were supresed and changed
to the name of the unity. According the law, 40 cms of larger
diameter must include the red border but in practice official
specification was not followed.

Decree `No. 1920 of 12 November 1932, stated that
navy ships should use the military flag in greater size (no size
was prescribed). Here is a reconstruction according the decree
using military flag in 2:3 ratio, and the really used ensign
still in use except for minor changes in the arms.
On 11 January 1934, Executive Decree 62 retified the state
flag, miliyary flag, cavalry standart and merchant flag.
Naval flag is not quoted but the decree referred to flags of
military hedquarters, public buildings, merchant ships, fortress
etc.... (where state flag must be used). But it is clear that
merchant ensign and military flag kept in use, and that the flag
without arms must be used (togheter the flag with arms).

Arms were regulated by Executive Decree No. 3558 of 9 November
1949 . Official pattern was issued. All flags with arms were
modified. As before not all the official specifications in flags
were followed (images according official specifications and real
use).
