The Cavalry insignia is the crossed sabers. The Infantry insignia is the crossed rifles. If the Division was the 1st Cav then the black stetson is adorned with the sabers.
Also, the rest of you guys don't need to be too hard on him. He is an Engineer you know.

.I'd be guessing; however, being a member of the 1st Cav. as an Engineer and not an infantry solider. I would say crossed sabers!
I think crossed sabers have always been the symbol of Cavalry.

Go to the back of the line Bub! Be proud of your Engineer insignia. Wear it on your Stetson. Charge On!
