Bruce,
Thank you.
One last question
at this web site:
http://www2.powercom.net/~rokats/cw_ucaps.html
For the Cavalry cap badge for enlisted soldier was it a patch or a pin?
At this website
http://www.historyshopping.com/site/CWPatches,InsigniaandMore1.html
Which Cavalry badge if for the enlisted soldier and which is for the
Officer?
Thank you again
Jim

Jim:
1. NCO - Non-Commissioned Officer: 1st, 2nd or 3rd Corporal and 1st,
2nd,
3rd Sgt. and Sgt. Major (and saddler)
See:

2. Since the insignia was not "officially" issued by the Army, a soldier
would have had to purchase one from a sutler or have someone create one
for
him.
3. Yes. See this site for some serious insignia history:
