"9th Cavalry fought alongside Teddy Roosevelt during Spanish American war. Up San Juan hill etc. You got a piece of history there."

If I remember correctly, the 9th Cav were the "Buffalo Soldiers" and, at that time, one of the Company Commanders on the trek up Kettle and San Juan hills was a young Captain named John "Black Jack" Pershing. (Although his real nickname was far more derogatory...)

Great Artifact!!!

Regards,

John
