How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: attach by sewing to the stiff peaked cap, aligning the base of the grenade with the cap centreline and using an invisible stitch in matching thread. In most cases, the badge is used on ordinary service and dress caps for parades, duties and formal representation.

Fit the cap on a firm hat block when sewing to avoid puckering. This model is optimised for the male rigid cap; for beret use choose a version specifically made for baschi (berets). Ensure centring, horizontal alignment and neat rear thread knots.

Care and notes

Simple care preserves appearance and metal thread sheen; follow these practical recommendations.

• Dry‑clean only; avoid water, solvents, perfumes and alcohol that can damage threads and sequins.
• Dust with a soft brush and store in a dust bag; do not compress the embroidered relief.
• Check and reinforce stitch points periodically to keep the badge secure on the cap.
• Sale is restricted: purchase requires valid service ID or, for collectors, the prefectoral licence (art. 28 TULPS) as applicable.
