Product overview

Definition: a 16-year service longevity cross awarded to Guardia di Finanza personnel as recognition of long and meritorious service.

Main features

Compact and officially styled, the cross is designed to be recognizable on uniform or kept as a service memento.

• Silvered octagonal cross with semilunar terminals.
• Central roundel showing the "RI" monogram on a red field.
• Rear roundel in scarlet enamel engraved with "AL MERITO DI SERVIZIO".

How to use / When it’s useful

Wear the 37 mm version on the official uniform where regulations allow, or choose the 20 mm version for dress kits, displays, or private collections. The cross also serves as a formal recognition piece for career milestones and commemorative presentation.

Quick answer: choose 37 mm for visible uniform use and 20 mm for a discreet or display item.
In most cases: purchases require proof of service and verification before shipment; delivery to a barracks address is an available option once verified.

Care and notes

Handle the cross like other service decorations to preserve enamel and finish; keep it dry and store in a protective case when not worn.

• Provide proof of Guardia di Finanza membership (military ID or service certificate) to complete purchase.
• Delivery to a barracks address is possible but will be verified before sale completion.
• Limited availability and high demand — orders are processed after document verification.
