Branch Insignia:
- Two crossed gold color metal pistols 3/4 inch in height.
- The insignia was approved in 1922.
- The old type pistol sometimes referred to as the Harper's Ferry Pistol (made at the Harper's Ferry Arsenal), was selected since it is the first American Military pistol and remained the Army model for many years. The parts of this weapon were standardized and inter-changeable, thereby marking an advance in arms.
