This Italian Military Police Peak Cap is a distinctive piece of Carabinieri uniform history, featuring the formal high-front profile associated with Italian military and police dress. The black wool crown is finished with contrasting red piping, a glossy patent-leather peak and a leather sweatband. The band around the peak is secured by side buttons, completing the traditional military appearance. The supplied product image shows the cap without a front insignia, making it particularly suitable for collectors, display, historical interpretation and period uniform use.
The cap reflects the distinctive uniform traditions of the Arma dei Carabinieri, Italy's military police and a national police force. The Carabinieri were established by King Vittorio Emanuele I on 13 July 1814 with the dual responsibility of defending the state and maintaining public order and security. They remained the first corps of the Italian Army after national unification and became an autonomous branch of the Italian Armed Forces in 2000.
