How to use / When it’s useful

Choose the regulation flat format if you need conformity with standard uniform appearance; choose the slightly domed Elite variant for a refined display or collector presentation. Select the clamp or screw attachment based on the thickness and type of garment or mount you will use.

Quick answer: choose the flat format for official-looking wear and the Elite for a more refined visual impact.
In most cases, choose a clamp for thin fabrics and a screw attachment for heavier garments or fixed display mounts.

Care and notes

Routine care keeps the ribbon and metal emblem looking correct and preserves its value for display or uniform use.

• Gently wipe the metal emblem with a soft, dry cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals.
• Keep the ribbon dry and store flat or on a multi-ribbon mount to prevent creasing.
• Secure the chosen attachment properly to avoid damage to the ribbon or garment.
• Note: wearing official insignia is subject to military regulations—purchase does not replace formal authorization to wear awards.
