Yup, that will work, but constructing a tent over the ammonia and brass will give you better results. You can do this by rolling up a cone of construction paper or poster board. If you are careful, you can heat the ammonia and get even better results. This is highly dangerous if you breath the fumes...

Ishmel,

Fountain Hobby Shop carries it, or they did a one time. You can also expose brass to ammonia fumes and it will tarnish.

FWIW I do know that it was not uncommon to see hats cocked this way in the early to middle of the 18th century. My cocked hat is arranged with three hook and eye sets, so I can put the brim down in a storm or in bright sunlight.
