Feldgrau or Blue? I am curious as to why that regiment is sought after by you?

That looks very nice from what I can see. I can not help you as I only have a Feldgrau attila from the 8th, but I also like that regiment. I think that you will just have to keep watching Ebay and a few dealer sites (and shows) until one shows up. It is so hit or miss...mostly miss.....to find something from a specific regiment more so from the Imperial period Army. I believe that the last surviving German WWI Vet was from the 8th Hussar (if anyone has his name I would like to have it) and if he was not the last he was one of the very few remaining a few years ago.

Thank you very much for that link. I bookmarked this time. I recalled his name when I saw it in your link. It is really something to think about, a life touching 3 different centuries.
