No not a spesific unit or regiment. but period. In broad strokes you have the heavy cav winged hussars.
Then you have light cav hussars of mid 18c, so lets just use 7yw as a standard for this. Then we got the napoleonic type. And then finaly late period, I know some hussars were used up to 20c. So which one is the coolest? I used to think Napoleonics were the ultimate hussars. But I must say that the 7YW hussars look great. The one thing napoleonic hussars got is that they were part of the masses charges, they were both scout cav AND battle cav. While in the 7yw only the prussians seem to have used their hussars in the Napoleonic styles |

Sir Harry Flashman when he was, briefly, in the XI Hussars so the mid-1840s. :) |

The colourful and distinctly Hungarian uniforms of the mid 18th Century, combined with the daring cavalry actions of the 7yw, such as the seizing of Berlin by Andreas Hadik, make this my vote for "coolest" hussar period. During this time hussars were numerous enough to be militarily decisive, yet not so regimented or generic to lose any of their cultural heritage. |

Hmmmm – while I like the Napoleonic hussars, I think the coolest are SYW – nothing says Hussar like the Prussian Death Heads |

Visually, the Napoleonic Hussars for me. |

While the napoleonic hussars are awesome, winged hussars could be the coolest looking cavalry in history. But then, napoleonics second by far ;-) |
