A friend of mine is trying to identify this patch and he asked me assuming I might recognize it. Unfortunately for him, I have no idea and even a reverse image search yielded no results. My friend suspects it's a U.S. Army patch, and at first I thought it was certainly a cavalry unit patch due to the colors and horse head, but I'm not even sure of that. Here's to hoping someone here might recognize it...

Looks like an old 107th Armored Cav. But not sure

It's not 107th. That looks like this:

It has a similar horse head figure but the red/white background was used my the 6th and 11th Cavalry

I've never seen it before and my Google-fu comes up empty too.

It's got Cav colors, but I have never seen an American Cav patch with the red on the right.

After a bit more searching, I've found these colors and horse heads are also used often throughout different Engineer unit crests and patches, which seems more likely to me. I've actually found a patch with the same colors and a similar scheme.

Thank you for any help so far gents. I suppose it shall remain a mystery for now.
