Were they standard? Which colors? And how about the sabretache? Thanks. |

Both sabretache and shabraque were a standard red and yellow design for all regular hussar regiments as far as I am aware. link A bit of Knötel is always a good starting point. It says 1813 but there was not much change from 1809. |

Phillip Haythornthwaite in the Osprey book has the following: "Its (i.e., the hussar shabraque's)colouring was like that of the heavy cavalry, scarlet with yellow and black lace, and with the Emperor's cypher in the rear corners." |
