Small Badge 132 Mechanized Brigade Ariete

Product overview

The Pulce Fregio 132° Brigata Meccanizzata Ariete is a small metal pin designed to attach to the beret badge of the 132° Brigata Meccanizzata Ariete. It is intended for members of the unit, collectors of military surplus, and tactical gear enthusiasts who want an authentic insignia detail.

Definition: a "pulce" is a 10 mm badge pin that secures and highlights the beret's metal badge. This pulce adds a discreet, official-looking detail to the basco (beret) badge.

Main features

Carefully made for appearance and durability, the pulce combines a compact size with weather-resistant materials and two finish options to match either dress or operational use.

• Material: high-quality metal selected for strength and wear resistance.
• Size: 10 mm diameter, designed for the beret badge of the 132° Brigata Meccanizzata Ariete.
• Finishes: silvered browned metal background or green painted background (green available while stocks last).
• Compatibility: made to fit the tondino (round plate) used on the Ariete beret badge; may fit similar badges.
• Design: compact and discreet so it enhances the badge without obstructing the main emblem.

How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: position the pulce on the beret badge and secure the side tabs through the pre-drilled holes in the tondino. This ensures the pulce stays in place during wear.

In most cases, the pulce is applied at the center or upper part of the badge. It is useful for unit members who want to display unit affiliation and for collectors or reenactors who prefer a faithful badge appearance for dress, ceremonial, or display use.

Care and notes

Keep the pulce clean and check the fastening regularly to maintain appearance and secure fit. The green painted finish is offered until stock runs out; treat painted surfaces gently to avoid scratches.

• Fasten securely by bending the side tabs inside the tondino to prevent loss.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or strong abrasives that can damage the finish.
• Green painted variant is limited—availability may change as stock is depleted.
• Check compatibility with your specific beret badge before permanent fitting.
