Plastic Epaulettes for Carabinieri General Operational Uniform

Product overview

Plastic General's shoulder boards (alamari) for the Carabinieri OP suit. These shoulder boards are designed for Generals of the Arma dei Carabinieri to attach to the operational suit (Tuta OP) and show rank with the correct insignia. Definition: a plastic-made alamaro that reproduces the General's gallone for use on the Carabinieri operational uniform.

Made to meet service use and collector rules, the piece pairs durable materials with a traditional look. Suitable for duty, ceremonial appearances, and authorized military surplus or collector purchases when regulations are met.

Main features

Clear, service-ready construction with focused details for visibility and durability.

• Shape and size: Rectangular gallone, standard dimensions 31 mm x 132 mm.
• Material: Heat-sealed plastic for wear resistance and light weight.
• Base color: Bright red fabric border protruding 2.5 mm for clear edge definition.
• Golden fringe: Applied on the surface to highlight the rank.
• Five-pointed gold star: Fixed at the center as the rank emblem.
• Fastening: Hook-type Velcro on the back for quick, secure attachment to the Tuta OP.

How to use / When it’s useful

Attach the alamaro to the designated Velcro field on the operational suit; the hook-and-loop system allows fast application and easy removal for routine needs. The design is practical for tactical, police, and duty uniforms where removable insignia are required.

Quick answer: use the Velcro on the back to secure the alamaro to the Tuta OP. In most cases, the piece is kept in place during wear and removed when washing or storing the uniform. Note that sale and use are subject to service and collector rules.

Care and notes

Basic care keeps the alamaro presentable and functional without affecting the attached emblem.

• Clean with a soft, damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaning agents.
• Remove before machine-washing the suit to protect the plastic and Velcro.
• Store flat to avoid bending or deforming the gallone.
• Sale is restricted: available to Carabinieri personnel and licensed collectors only; documentation is required for purchase.
