Earliest National Pennants

The National Pennant is in use since Mexico achieved independence from Spain in 1821, even before. However, the earliest law I've even found where the Masthead pennant is regulated is the General Ordinance of 1897, then, that of 1912.

During the Empire (1864-1867) the Masthead Pennant was regularized by decree of June 18, 1864, but its official proportions were established by Imperial Law issued in the "Diario del Imperio" on November 13, 1865 describying it as follows:

"(...) and the National Pennant shall be proportioned 1:20, as it is indicated in the attached drafts, figure 2."
