Heraldry of the Guardia Civil

[Marcus Karlsson]

Thanks for the information regarding the URS. Here are som more Unit Arms:


Armorial Bearings of the Traffic Grouping, not the best heraldry perhaps but it certainly tells the Role of the Grouping. Perhaps a Heraldic First for a Biker's Helmet?


Armorial Bearings of the Protection and Security Service.


Public Order and Prevention Service.

The lozenge inescutcheon of the Cavalry Squadron is highly unusual, though there are several instances of lozenges used in civic heraldry in Aragon.

In Spanish civic heraldry, it's not precisely a lozenge, but a rotated square. It's called "escut caironat" i.e. tile-shaped, flagstone-shaped escutcheon. It seems to be recommended for civic heraldry by an international heraldic meeting held in Rome, in 1958, but I'm clueless about such meeting.

I have not heard about such a recomendation either Leonardo Almedia. and if there was such a thing it has not been followed to any extent.

Now some more Guardia Civil Heraldry.
