U.S. troops were used to train the philippine constabulary during the late 1800- to early 1900 time period and also occupied the islands. It came from a soldier stationed there. I think Okla. National Guard? Probably dress uniform.
I would guess that it is not too common and a great find!!

1907 was when Oklahoma was recognized as a state.
