The photographs are not mine. I found them by chance on Flickr. The brazão (shield) designed for India Portuguesa is to the left of "Viva Portugal" on
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cultura_portuguesa_da_india/ This shield was designed to be at the bottom right-hand side of the flag for India Portuguesa. However, the flag was not of any real use - just an academic exercise, I suppose, on part of the Salazarist govt of the time. The brazão (shield), I understand was the official coat-of-arms of India Portuguesa from 8 May 1935 until 31 December 1974 (the latter was the date that Portugal finally recognised the annexation of Goa by India). See http://www.tuvalkin.web.pt/terravista/guincho/1421/bandeira/in_pt.htm http://lusoamericans.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=31 and http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estado_Portugu%C3%AAs_da_%C3%8Dndia (if you can read Portuguese). Take care.
