T. Snorrason and Chr. Wurgler Hansen. Page 6"Some may perhpas have worn the French black colpack, as it was allowed in the regulations". It is at the end of a paragraph discussing a black and white drawing of a Hussar officer, but includes refrences to the men as well. I suspect it was an option limited to officers, but it isn't clear from the wording if that was the case - probably so.
