SARGE Posted January 25, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 25, 2019 This is a summer weight Carabinieri uniform for a Captain. Rank is shown on the cuffs of the tunic and the breeches have broad black and red stripes on the outside of the leg. Notice the ribbons that are sewn directly onto the uniform above the left pocket. I do not know what these ribbons represent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRA227 Posted January 26, 2019 Share #4 Posted January 26, 2019 Loks like Merit Cross,1915-1918 War Medal and 1848-1918 United Italy. I can post the awards. Rich A. in Pa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see them and I know others would too. Do the three embroidered stars indicate separate repetitive awards or are they simply a part of the 1915-1918 War Medal design?

RRA227 Posted January 28, 2019 Share #6 Posted January 28, 2019 A star is a year. Here are the awards. The war medal has 1917 and 1918 bars. These awards are part of a group of 5. I do not understand why he does not have a W.W.1 Victory bar. Rich A. in Pa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted January 30, 2019 Excellent photos of these awards. I appreciate your posting them as I did not know what they looked like. Like US ribbon bars I suppose he could choose which awards to wear and did not have to wear them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skysoldier80 Posted April 26, 2019 Share #8 Posted April 26, 2019 The Merit Cross is sometimes seen multiple times on a ribbon bar. They don’t do things like the US and put devices for multiple awards “all of the time.” I will post my Sons uniforms when I get home in the forum that I started.

Thanks for the information on the ribbon bar. I am always learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
