Epaulettes Carabinieri GUS Fringed Linen White

Product overview

Spalline GUS Carabinieri Frange Lino Bianco are ceremonial shoulder boards made for Vicebrigadieri, Appuntati and Carabinieri to wear with the Grande Uniforme Storica of the Arma dei Carabinieri. They are handcrafted from quality materials and designed for formal uniform use, duty display, and collectors of military surplus or police gear.

Definition: ceremonial shoulder boards with removable white linen fringe fitted to a silvered tin base plate, produced to the specific style used by the Arma dei Carabinieri.

Main features

These shoulder boards combine traditional appearance with practical fittings and are produced to order with careful craftsmanship.

• Silvered tin base plate: a “piattino” of latta argentata forms the rigid backing.
• Two removable linen fringes: two turns of white linen fringe that can be detached for cleaning or storage.
• Functional rear fittings: one side attaches with a screw and plate, the other with a pin for secure application.
• Rank-specific design: made for Vicebrigadieri, Appuntati and Carabinieri (different from Marescialli models, which include metal fringe and cushion).
• Made-to-order: careful artisan preparation ensures quality finish; allow production time.

How to use / When it’s useful

Use these spalline primarily with the Grande Uniforme Storica for formal ceremonies, parades, and official duty displays. They are also suitable for display in collections of military surplus or police uniform items.

Quick answer: fit the board to the shoulder using the screw-and-plate and pin attachments on the back. In most cases, remove the linen fringe before any separate cleaning or storage to protect the textile and metal parts.
