This was the third design of the 2d Cavalry DUI, worn from 1924-1931. The sharp points on the ends of the bottom scroll again called for a redesign.

David, looks like you are sporting a new Cavalry hat in your profile picture, looking good Trooper !!
Hello David,
I purchased my hat online from Miller hats out of Houston Texas ,http://www.millerhatstore.com/store/cavalry_hats The hat is made by Resistol, they have quite a selection to choose from just in their Cavalry hat category. I did a lot of research before I bought from them, I looked all over the place. I would have purchased a Stetson from the place the association recommends they support our troopers, but I wanted a 4" brim with the cattle mans crown and Miller hats had the most selections on their web site, just take a good measurement of your head with a tailors measuring tape I was very happy with their service. You can find custom hat makers out there but you will pay much more for those hats and have to wait longer for them. My Resistol is a good quality hat for the price I paid for it, they also have the hat cords and sabers and chin strap and they will sell you a carrying case and hat care products if you like. good luck and have fun picking one out.

David,check out www.secondcavalry.com.go to sutler's store for your stetson.it's "our" association and sales benefit the regiment.check out my pics of my stetson,the crossed sabers and chinstrap are included.if I remember correctly they are shipped from pa.
The old pics are great! I think there are others but I haven't checked them out yet. I haven't been to a 2nd Cav reunion yet but Gettysburg might be a good one to go to. I've never been to Gettysburg but I would really like to see the battlfield. I haven't come across many from the old 2nd Cav days in person but I have seen Sebert Wilson and Frank Decker (LT). Frank comes to Orlando from time to time and we get together and share old stories. I've seen him in Kansas as well (he lives near Ft. Leavenworth).
Just saw the picture you posted of me. I've never seen it before but it really brings back memories!
Florida is good! I just changed jobs so I'm in information overload mode. Hope all is well with you.
Florida is hot! Sounds like a lot of the old Amberg crowd still live in Germany. I've been wanting to go back for a visit, especially since our youngest son was born in Nuremburg while we were stationed in Amberg. We will probably wait until his son is old enough to remember the trip and go back and visit with his family in a few years. His wife was born in Germany about the same time and they both want to go back and see where they were born.
Take care,
Ron
