10 cm Italian Tricolor Cockade for Lantern

Product overview

The 10 cm Tricolour Rosette for the Lucerna of the Arma dei Carabinieri is a ceremonial accessory made for members of the corps, collectors, and uniform restorers. It is designed to be mounted at the base of the parade badge on the lucerna to show national colours and institutional affiliation.

Definition: a tricolour rosette is a circular ribbon badge showing the green, white and red of the Italian flag, used as a formal uniform ornament. Suitable for military surplus, tactical display pieces, and duty or police ceremonial gear.

Main features

Carefully crafted for symmetry and durability, the rosette balances visibility and proportion on the lucerna while resisting normal wear from parades and ceremonial use.

• Diameter: 10 cm standard size, made for parade lucerna.
• Tricolour layout: green center, white middle, red outer ring to mirror the Italian flag.
• Material: high-quality synthetic ribbon that maintains vivid colours and resists moisture and sunlight.
• Construction: tightly folded ribbon for stable circular shape and long-lasting form.
• Attachment: supplied with or designed to use a U-shaped metal cap for secure fixing to the lucerna.
• Use cases: parade, ceremonial duty, uniform restoration, and collector displays.

How to use / When it’s useful

Attach the rosette at the base of the parade badge (fregio) on the lucerna so it sits as a clear focal point on the front of the headdress. The U-shaped cap provides a stable mechanical fix to prevent shifting during movement.

Quick answer: use it for official ceremonies, parades, and formal duty where the lucerna is worn. In most cases, secure the rosette with the U-cap and check it before each event to ensure it remains centered and stable.

Care and notes

Light maintenance keeps the rosette looking its best; its synthetic ribbon offers weather resistance but simple care preserves shape and colour over time.

• Store flat in a dry place to avoid crushing or deforming the folds.
• Do not machine wash; gently spot-clean with a damp cloth if needed.
• Ensure the U-shaped cap is correctly fitted to prevent loss during parades.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to intense sunlight when stored to slow colour fading.
