Bugler patch id

I found this patch and I'm thinking 1903 Army Bugler patch, uncut. A correction or confirmation would be appreciated.

It definitely looks like one of the post Civil War patches.

This a "bent bugle." That was the symbol of the infantry. Post war it was replaced by crossed rifles.

Original examples of the infantry "bent bugle" insignia.

During the Civil War there was no official bugler or musician sleeve patch. Informal patches were created by units.

I say we have a match. Yellow cavalry up thread & blue infantry here.

I know the bent bugle was the infantry symbol. Just wanted to know how old my patch was. I figured it wasn't civil war. Thanks.

Next time please include a listing of what you already know so we can Taylor our response accordingly.

From my point of view, showing the documentation that supports the evidence is fundamental. To do otherwise is a waste of time.

I'm still saving up for the Tice book.
