That's the dragoon's version, known as a "dragonera". The mentioned letters stand for Caballeria de Linea, or Line Cavalry.

There was also an infantry version sans the thumb hook, and I also believe the guard was less roundish...

They are now making copies of it for reenacting purposes.

Nice catch!
