How to use / When it’s useful

These rank badges are intended for mounting on the official gala tunic of a Tenente. They attach by the overlapping ring detail; position the closure to the rear so the ring sits correctly on the shoulder board.

Quick answer: use them on the Carabinieri gala uniform to show the Tenente rank. In most cases, they are fitted by aligning the stripes parallel and securing the overlap at the back of the shoulder board for a neat, formal appearance.
