SMOM Honor and Devotion Ribbon

Product overview

The Nastrino Onore e Devozione SMOM is a ribbon badge for members and recipients of the Onore e Devozione honor from the Sovrano Militare Ordine di Malta (SMOM). It suits veterans, uniformed personnel, collectors of military surplus and anyone who needs an accurate ceremonial or duty insignia.

Definition: this is a formal ribbon badge that displays the Octagonal Cross and fleur-de-lis design, worn to show membership and commitment to the Order. The piece is crafted for ceremonial wear and display on ribbon bars.

Main features

Carefully finished and symbolically detailed, the nastrino balances traditional design with practical mounting options for everyday or formal use.

• Octagonal cross motif with four white enameled quadrants and fleur-de-lis details.
• Gold crown on the central fleur-de-lis as a mark of rank and prestige.
• Available in two sizes: 37 mm (standard) and 20 mm (compact).
• Elite slightly domed variant for a 3D, more prominent appearance.
• Two attachment choices: clamp (no fabric piercing) or screws (more permanent fix).
• Option to mount on a porta nastrini (ribbon bar) in two or more positions for an organised display.

How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: wear the 37 mm model for formal ceremonies and the 20 mm model for everyday or less formal uniforms. The clamp is useful when you want a non-permanent solution; screws are better when a fixed, secure attachment is required.

In most cases, members place the nastrino on their ribbon bar or on the breast of a formal jacket. Collectors and military surplus buyers often add it to a display porta nastrini to keep multiple honors aligned and professional-looking.

Care and notes

Maintain the nastrino as you would other metal and enameled insignia to preserve finish and alignment.

• Avoid abrasive cleaners; clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap if needed.
• Clamp attachment preserves uniform fabric; choose screws only when a permanent fit is acceptable.
• Store dry and flat to prevent bending or enamel damage.
• Production is limited; order early if you need a specific size or the Elite variant.
