Look for 'Montana Peak' or 'Campaign Hat' - you'll find a number of references.

Scouts Out!

  Howdy Pards!

   In the military, IMHO, often times the "regulation" comes about to cement or "legitimatize" past practices..   ;)  :)

  Period images of the later 1880's and 1890's sometimes show soldiers with their campaign hats reworked to have "Montana Peaks."  As well as in the 1900's before the "fashion" was regulation with the M1911 campaign hat...

   For a longer version.. try:
