Another scoundrel recently entered the market, this time from Vienna, Virginia, United States. Few residents, but one of the best places to live (at least Wikipedia says so ...). I believe it, considering these rip-offs !!! His inventory is full, however the images do not reproduce the reality. By the way, he sells the same cap depicted in the third photograph of the no. 1371

The current pattern of the historical uniform of the Finance Guard AcademyComment

This is the intermediate model of the NCO's that replaced the one illustrated in the previous no. 1388. As can be seen it was very similar to the Academy, except for the single breasted cut. Please note also that the gilded galloon at the collar is not whole but halved, as usual for non-commissioned students.Very recently, it was abolished and a uniform very similar to the initial one was restored. So, as far as the Guardia di Finanza is concerned, the Music Band remains, of which I attach some pictures. I will then continue with the State Police and the Prison Police.Comment

The historical uniforms of the bandsmen and the change of the guard of honor at the Palace of the President of the Republic in Rome in 2014 between the Accademy (mounting guard) and the NCOs'. Please note at the beginning the beautiful italian version of the Prince Eugen march:

The prison police khepì. The historical uniform is used sporadically and with a certain "fantasy". However, it is almost the same as that of the State Police which I will illustrate later, obviously with the straight collar, the cuffs' pipings, the profiling of the jacket and the cords, all in light blue. All metal attributes are silver in color.Comment
