17th Infantry Regiment Insignia (Post Indian War / Pre WWI)

[Buffalo Grunt]

I thought that I would list some of the 17th Infantry Insignia that I have, as I know that there are folks out there who know a lot more about this insignia than I do.  Most of these insignia I believe are from the late 1800's through 1905.

If the insignia has (or had on some of them) a screw post on the reverse, they are for dress blue caps if bright. The darkened ones with screw posts are for wool olive drab or cotton khaki service caps.

These are fantastic!  A most impressive collection!

Very nice collection and thought you might enjoy seeing an image of the cap badge being worn around the time of the Spanish-American War. Looks like he was a member of Co. E.

Here is another insignia to add to the 17th regiment collection.  This belonged to Charles R Taylor.  He is the soldier in the center of the photo.  Red arrow denotes him
