3rd Cavalry Regiment “Brave Rifles" Chrome Emblem

Our 3rd Cavalry Regiment Brave Rifles metal emblem measures approximately 50mm (2”) in diameter and features a chrome-plated zinc alloy body. High-contrast black enamel detailing defines the regimental crest. Each piece includes 3M adhesive backing for secure mounting on flat surfaces. The metal is weather-resistant and designed to maintain its finish on trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, or toolboxes.

The Regiment of Mounted Riflemen was authorized by an Act of Congress on Dec. 1, 1845 and was subsequently formed at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri in October 1846 under the command of the 1st Colonel of the Regiment, Colonel Persifor F. Smith. This brought into existence a new organization in the United States Army: a regiment of riflemen, mounted to create greater mobility than the infantry, and equipped with Model 1841 percussion rifles to provide greater range and accuracy than the muskets of the infantry or the dragoon's smooth bore carbines.
