![[1967 proposal]](../images/t/tl!1967.gif)
Heraldist F. P. de Almeida Langhans published in p. 67
of his Armorial do Ultramar Português (Lisbon, 1965)
[lgh65] a general model for
the overseas “provinces”’ flags: The national flag defaced
with the shield of the lesser
arms of each province
centered in the lower fly quarter of the red field. This
proposal was aproved in 1967, but never come to effect.
The colonial coats of arms, decreed on 8 May 1935, all
had a shield of the same pattern, tierced in mantel, the
dexter silver, five eschuteons, saltire, each charged with
five bezants, gold, in cross; and the point silver, five
waves green. The remaining sinister mantel had some local
emblem. For East Timor this was gironny, silver over black,
a fleur de lys cross counterchanged charged with one of the
eschuteons.
António Martins , 8 Jul 1997
