Main features

Solid construction and clear iconography for ceremony and daily wear; surface treated for color stability and reduced oxidation. Designed to remain visually legible at distance and to mount stably on the cap visor.

• Design: raised grenade with a seven‑tongued, forward‑slanted flame to express rapid projection and unit identity.
• Material & finish: gold‑tone metal with combined glossy/satin finish to highlight reliefs and mask micro‑scratches.
• Protection: surface treatment for improved resistance to oxidation and color stability.
• Dimensions: Width 10 cm × Height 9 cm (format for tesa/visor).
• Compatibility: made for the male rigid visor cap of the Army ordinary uniform (tesa format).
• Mounting: prepared for stable fixing on the visor with a central structure that limits rotation once secured.

How to use / When it’s useful

Use this fregio to restore or outfit an Army service cap where the tesa badge is required. Prepare the visor surface clean and dry, locate the exact center, align the badge so the grenade is horizontal and the flame follows the visor edge, then secure with the standard fixing method of your unit.

Quick answer: this badge is for the visor (tesa) of the male rigid service cap, not a beret badge. In most cases, installation follows the unit's uniform office procedures — avoid excessive tightening and prolonged contact with solvents.

Care and notes

Basic maintenance keeps the finish and reliefs looking sharp while ensuring compliance with uniform rules. Follow the unit clothing office directions for mounting and use.

• Wipe after use with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints and moisture.
• For polishing, use non‑abrasive metal products suitable for gold finishes and test on a hidden area first.
• Avoid solvents, alcohol and aggressive detergents; do not expose to salt spray or prolonged humidity.
• Store in a dry place; consider anti‑humidity sachets when not in service.
• Sale restricted: purchase and use are subject to verification of military status or the appropriate collector’s license.
