    Default post 1915 Imperial German Army Waffenfarben?

    Did a search with no joy. The obvious ones were fairly easy to find - arty, inf, special troops - but I was wondering if the hussar regiments had a special color? On one militaria site I saw a dark green backed pair of shoulder boards listed as hussar and on another they had a maroon backed board listed the same. Specifically I was hoping someone would know what either the Leibhussars or the 17 Braunschweig Hussars would wear. I found a color pic of a 17th attila but couldn't tell other than it looked dark, not red like uhlans. I was thinking it might have been black as a nod to their pre-field grey uniforms, but the photo just wasn't good enough.

    Cheers,

    Hussar Regiments colors varied from regiment to regiment (pretty much true for all the mounted troops of the the Imperial Army).
    This may be of help The Husar
