====Colonial arms==== | |||
In June 1932 the first arms for the Portuguese colony of Cape Verde were designed and proposed to the Ministry of Colonies. The arms follow a centralised pattern with a bordure with the castle of Portugal and a cross as used by the Portuguese discoverers. For each province a separate symbol was used as the main charge. For Cape Verde a ship was chosen. The reason thereof is not known. These arms were, as far as I know, never officially adopted and replaced in 1935. | |||
