I found this military cavalry insignia and just got it back from being repaired.

[40 Rounds]

I posted about this insignia a while back but wanted to give an update on it. When I recovered this 11th US cavalry badge as you will see from the before pictures it was bent pretty bad. A nice piece but I was hoping to have it returned to its original shape. I contacted JP Hunts on Facebook to see if he would take on the project to repair the badge to its issued configuration and he did. I just got it back and I am very happy with the results!

The 11th US cavalry was stationed here in Des Moines, Iowa at Ft. Des Moines from 1904-1906 so it likely dates to that time period.
