Subject: Can't say much about the floor mats, but I can tell you the history of the MT H.P. uniform patch Author: Grainy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:10:01 11/19/02 Tue In reply to: DA 's message, "floor mats" on 18:34:15 11/19/02 Tue Before becoming a state the MHP was originally the Montana Territory Rangers. I guess they were the "bring 'em back dead or alive" type of law enforcement agency. On their patch to this day are the numerals 3-7-77. These numbers are NOT a date in history; the numbers signify the dimensions of a grave. (3 feet x 7 feet x 77 inches) I think it nice they keep the old traditions displayed, even if cryptic.
