26th Cavalry Regimental Crests

[Trooper]

Does anyone have a source for the regimental crests for
the 26th Cavalry Regiment? Is anyone working on having
reproductions made for the growing number of reenactors
who will need them to complete their period impressions?
Any ideas on how to get this project started with vendors,
manufacturers either in the U.S. or the P.I.? Any information
would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Trooper

There is a 26th cav. DI Crest available at US CAV.org but it is pointing to the left. And not the correct direction for the Campaigne hat.

I'm have someone possible having the pair made and will let you all know if this comes through as I'm wating for a reply from P.I. if it's being made at all.

Thanks for the information. At least there is one source for an actual 26th Crest, even though technically incorrect for the
campaigne and the overseas hats. I am amazed to even
find one!!!!!.
Hopefully, we can get a correct set reproduced soon. I
will order one from the website you listed.

Best regards,
Trooper bill

The unit DUIs came in a left and right version, for each shoulder of the class A uniform . . . so the rider was always facing forward. This is similar to that of the 31st Infantry which has left and right DUIs for the class As.
