Plastic Rank Insignia Maresciallo Capo Carabinieri

Product overview

The Tubolari Plastica Maresciallo Capo Carabinieri are a pair of thermo-welded plastic rank sleeves made for Maresciallo Capo personnel of the Arma dei Carabinieri. They provide clear, uniform identification for duty or dress uniforms.

Definition: A tubolare is a sleeve band worn on the uniform to show rank. These plastic tubolari mirror the shape and colour of metal versions and include a red perimeter trim; they are available in limited quantities and intended for official use, collectors with proper documentation, and military surplus/tactical gear collectors.

Main features

Designed to match official Carabinieri styling, these tubolari combine durability and an authentic appearance suitable for duty, dress, and seasonal uniforms.

• Material: Thermo-welded plastic for long-lasting shape and finish.
• Authentic design: Printed on bands that match the look and colour of metal tubolari, with red profiling around the full perimeter.
• Colour options: Black and light blue (azzurro) to fit different uniforms.
• Pair: Supplied as a set of two tubolari.
• Reserved sale: Sales restricted to Carabinieri personnel or verified collectors (see verification rules).

How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: Use the black tubolari on dark or winter pieces (V-neck sweater, white pocketed shirt with epaulettes, windbreaker, sweater, or summer gilet) and the light blue tubolari on the summer shirt. In most cases, they are fitted onto the uniform sleeve bands where rank is displayed.

These tubolari are useful for on-duty identification, ceremonial wear, or for verified military collectors wanting an authentic appearance without metal hardware. They suit tactical, duty, and military surplus needs where a lightweight, durable sleeve option is preferred.

Care and notes

Simple care keeps the tubolari looking professional and ensures they remain suitable for uniform standards.

• Wipe clean with a damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could affect printing.
• Store flat or on a uniform to keep shape; avoid prolonged heat exposure that may deform plastic.
• Sale is conditional: identity verification required via military ID or shipment to the barracks.
• Collectors must provide a copy of the prefectural licence under art. 28 TULPS to complete purchase.
