7-17 Cavalry Large Size Crossed Sabers Pin

7-17 Cavalry Crossed Sabers Pin (measures 2-1/4") - Bright Gold Finish. 

The 17th Cavalry Regiment was constituted on 1 July 1916 in the Regular Army as the 17th Cavalry at Fort Bliss, Texas after the Pancho Villa Expedition. Formerly a part of the 1950s Combat Arms Regimental System, it was reorganized as a part of the United States Army Regimental System, which is an ongoing effort to maintain the lineage and history of the Army through its units.

Today, the 17th Cavalry Regiment is found across the Army within the Combat Aviation Brigades, where the Squadrons, now constituted as attack/recon helicopter squadrons made up of OH-58D Kiowa Warriors, carry on the legacy of the 17th Cavalry Regiment.
