My guess is that it is a German or Bavarian hat accessory.

Have seen pictures of men in lederhosen wearing hats with a brush in the hat band.

And what a fine example of a gamsbärte it is at that. This is one of the several reasons why I love this forum. I have yet to see the collective rabble stumped by even the most difficult or obsure identification or request for information. Fantastic!

You'll find nothing but agreement from me on that! With the great diversity this forum offers, someone is bound to know something about something!
