Around the Spanish American War, the U.S.
Army instituted a regulation prohibiting the National Guard from using the same insignia as the regular Army.
Every state solved this in different ways, from adding
state letters or name, to devising completely different
insignia. Pennsylvania solved this by placing an enameled
keystone in the center of the insignia. Their General
Order No.3 of 10 Feb. 1898 established the colors: red,
white and blue for units attached to Division
Headquarters, red for the 1st Brigade, white for the 2nd
Brigade and blue for the 3rd Brigade. These keystones
also exist in a combination of red & white and blue
& white.
