Hello guys,

I have just obtained this Italian beauty. Can you advice, where to get a ribbon?

Thanks

Great commander badge!  Looks to be gold; if so may have mark on edge of arm or suspension. 

 

Several Italian vendors sell ready made cravat [neck] ribbons or you can buy ribbon from them & make your own.   You may even find old silk cravats on auction sites.  Search  Nastro da commendatore dell'ordine della stella coloniale d'Italia.   

 

Width of most originals in 40 - 44 mm range with ribbon ties in correct color distribution as neck ribbon or in solid red.  Some so-called replacement ribbon widths used for cravats measure 35-39 mm widths.  Be sure to specify exactly what you want to buy with the vendor and verify what you receive.

 

Ribbon for the 2011-present version of the Order of the Star of Italian Solidarity, Stella della solidarietà italiana, appears basically the same as the ordine della stella coloniale d'Italia.
