How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: Mount the Ferita Servizio Kaki on the right sleeve of the jacket with the lower end forward, about 15 cm from the shoulder seam, at a 45° angle. This follows standard placement instructions for service wound badges.

In most cases, wearers use the badge on service or ceremonial uniforms to show recognised service wounds; if both a ferita in guerra and ferita in servizio are worn, the ferita in guerra is placed above the ferita in servizio. The badge is also appropriate for uniformed police and duty outfits when regulations allow.

Care and notes

Simple care preserves appearance and ensures compliance with uniform standards; follow placement and spacing rules when mounting multiple badges.

• Store flat and away from moisture to protect the silvered metal wire.
• Handle carefully to avoid bending the metal gallon stripes.
• Follow the 45° placement and the 15 cm from-shoulder guideline for correct wear.
• Keep subsequent badges 3 mm apart and place any ferita in guerra above the ferita in servizio.
