Importante e rara uniforme da ufficiale, risalente al periodo del Regno d’Italia (circa 1910), composta da:
Giubba in panno nero con bottoni metallici originali
Berretto rigido con fregio metallico e numero identificativo “112”
Giberna completa con bandoliera decorata e placche metalliche

L’insieme presenta iconografia sabauda con aquila coronata e scudo crociato, tipica della tradizione araldica militare italiana pre-repubblicana.
Di particolare interesse è l’etichetta interna:
L. Beretta & C. – Milano, Roma, Torino, Napoli – 1910
con attribuzione manoscritta a un ufficiale (Cap. Ravasio).

Questa uniforme proviene da un’acquisizione presso un mercatino antiquario nel territorio milanese, area storicamente legata a importanti sartorie militari.
L’etichetta interna della giubba riporta chiaramente:
“L. Beretta & C. – Milano, Roma, Torino, Napoli – 1910”, una delle principali sartorie attive nella fornitura di uniformi per ufficiali nel periodo del Regno d’Italia.
Particolarmente interessante è la presenza di una annotazione manoscritta con il nome “Cap. Ravasio”, verosimilmente riferibile al primo proprietario, presumibilmente un ufficiale dei Carabinieri Reali.
L’insieme – di giubba, berretto e giberna – appare coerente e non ricomposto, suggerendo che possa essere stato conservato come dotazione personale per lungo tempo prima della sua dispersione sul mercato antiquario.
Elementi come la qualità dei materiali, la ricchezza dei fregi e la completezza del corredo indicano una destinazione d’uso ufficiale e non teatrale o ricostruttiva.

Stato di conservazione
Bueno stato generale per l’epoca.
Segni di usura coerenti con l’età (patina sui metalli, leggere usure del tessuto).
Oggetto non restaurato.
Come da foto, la visiera del cappello ha qualche sbeccatura e la fodera interna è parzialmente scucita. Una delle due catenelle della giberna è staccata. 
La giubba presenta minori segni del tempo, tra cui piccoli fori da insetto tessile e lievi abrasioni del panno, senza compromettere l’integrità complessiva del capo.
L’uniforme si presenta nel suo stato originale, con patina coerente con l’epoca.

Important and rare Royal Carabinieri officer's uniform, dating back to the period of the Kingdom of Italy (circa 1910), composed of:
Black cloth jacket with original metal buttons
Rigid cap with metal frieze and identification number “112”
Complete pouch with decorated bandolier and metal plates

The set features Savoy iconography with a crowned eagle and crossed shield, typical of the pre-republic Italian military heraldic tradition.
Of particular interest is the internal label:
L. Beretta & C. – Milan, Rome, Turin, Naples – 1910
with handwritten attribution to an officer (Cap. Ravasio).

This uniform comes from an acquisition at an antiques market in the Milan area, an area historically linked to important military tailors.
The internal label of the jacket clearly states:
"L. Beretta & C. – Milan, Rome, Turin, Naples – 1910", one of the main tailors active in the supply of uniforms for officers in the period of the Kingdom of Italy.
Particularly interesting is the presence of a handwritten note with the name "Cap. Ravasio", probably referable to the first owner, presumably an officer of the Royal Carabinieri.
The ensemble - complete with jacket, cap and pouch - appears coherent and not recomposed, suggesting that it may have been kept as personal equipment for a long time before its dispersion on the antiques market.
Elements such as the quality of the materials, the richness of the friezes and the completeness of the equipment indicate an official and not theatrical or reconstructive intended use.

State of conservation
In good general condition for the time.
Signs of wear consistent with age (patina on metals, light wear on the fabric).
Unrestored object.
As shown in the photo, the visor of the hat has some chips and the internal lining is partially unstitched. One of the two chains of the pouch is detached. 
The jacket shows minor signs of aging, including small textile insect holes and slight abrasions of the cloth, without compromising the overall integrity of the garment.
The uniform is presented in its original state, with a patina consistent with the era.
