The Limited Edition Delta "Arma dei Carabinieri" was created to honour the Italian institution of the same name, created in 1814, being therefore older than Italy itself, whose founding act would not arrive until 1860.
Made from special blue resin, hand-turned from a solid block, it is adorned with red rings, reproducing the colours of the Carabinieri uniform.
On the crown is a solid silver button with the anagram of the brand at that time, consisting of a capital letter "D", and the cap is dressed with a solid silver shirt with a flame on one side and the coat of arms of the "Arma dei Carabinieri" on the other, with the part number on the dividing panel between the two; the clip is typical of the period used by Delta, with a rolling ball.
The barrel is adorned with another solid silver sleeve on which we can see the engravings "CARABINIERI" and "1814 - 1998"; the nib is the so-called Millenium, in 18 carat gold, two-tone, by application of selective platinum plating and the lever-loading system, on the surface of which we can read "EDIZIONE 1998".
