Guardia di Finanza Captain Shoulder Boards

Product overview

The Soggolo Capitano Guardia di Finanza is the rank ribbon worn above the visor of the rigid cap by a Capitano in the Guardia di Finanza. It is designed for service use and for authorised collectors who hold the required documentation.

Definition: A soggolo is a decorative and functional cap ribbon that identifies rank and completes the official uniform. It combines a gold fabric ribbon, a central lustrone, and a leather base for secure attachment.

Main features

Quality materials and precise dimensions reproduce the official look and ensure durability for duty, tactical displays, or military surplus collections.

• Ribbon height: 16 mm gold fabric, durable and weather-resistant.
• Central lustrone: 2 mm glossy stripe running the length of the ribbon.
• Base: high-quality black leather strip for robust support and attachment.
• End trim: three gold galloncini per side, edged in black for balanced appearance.
• Mounting: designed to be fixed with gold metal buttons (buttons sold separately).
• Restricted sale: item reserved to Guardia di Finanza personnel or authorised collectors presenting required documentation.

How to use / When it’s useful

Place the soggolo across the cap visor aligned with the temples and secure it using the gold metal buttons. It should sit flat, centred, and symmetrical for correct uniform presentation.

Quick answer: fit the ribbon above the visor and fasten at the button points. In most cases, the included leather base provides stable support but you will need the correct gold buttons to complete the attachment; these are not included with the soggolo.

Care and notes

Basic care keeps the ribbon and leather in good condition and preserves the uniform appearance during regular service or display.

• Clean the gold fabric with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and light dirt.
• No special leather treatment is required for the base; avoid soaking or harsh chemicals.
• Check the fastening buttons regularly for tightness and signs of corrosion; replace if needed.
• Sale is subject to verification of eligibility—prepare service ID or appropriate licences as required.
