14th Infantry Regiment Pin/Badge

I found this on a 19th century home site. They were formed during the Civil War but didn't start using this insignia until 1924.

History, per Wiki:
In recognition of the regiment's heroic performance of duty during twelve of the bloodiest campaigns of the American Civil War, General George Meade, awarded the 14th Infantry Regiment the place of honor at the "Right of the Line" in the Grand Review of the Armies in Washington, DC at the end of the war. This is where the regiment takes its motto "The Right of the Line".
