Having a hard time figuring out this insignia on the breast pocket? A fantastic image of a D-Guard Bowie. No name or id.

That's a serious look. From the "X" on the insignia I'd guess it means "approach at your own risk". I'd like to know what it actually means also.

great image - I have posted this on a civil war site and no one has a definite answer yet . Do you own this image?
