0811U1 (Imperial Prussia) - Prussian enlisted Hussar Attila (tunic) of Hussar Rgt. Czar Nicholas
II of Russia , 1st Westphalian No. 8. Obergefreiter (larger NCO disc on collar) of
the 1st Squadron (shoulder strap button0 dated 1914 issue and unit marked
to H.R.8. Virtually mint condition with near perfect cording, nickel silver
toggles and rosettes. This "Attila" is tailored in high quality Prussian blue
wool. The rare large size is 38/40. At the start of the war in 1914, mobilization
took place so fast that many Prussian regiments went to war wearing their pre-war
uniforms until such time as enough field gray
Attilas (introduced in 1910 for field wear) were produced and issued. Since
Prussia was at war with both France and Russia (and keeping with the policy that
all field wear shoulder straps would have numbers in lieu of regimental cyphers), this
1914 issue Attila has number eights (8's) for unit designation only. Prussian Hussar
regiments normally consisted of five squadrons (companies) with No. 1 being the
elite of the five (used for ceremonial, parade, shooting, sword and lance skills
and horsemanship). The 8th Regiment was brigaded with the 11th Hussar
Rgt. (2nd Westphalian ) and in 1914 fought immediately from Belgium to the
Marne, Somme, Arras and Lille. From November 1914 Hussar Rgt. 8 fought on the
Russian Front through 1915/16 and 1917/18 returning to the Western Front in
1918 to form part of the Guard Cavalry Rifle Brigade as assault infantry. This
Attila has no mothing or stains and is in exceptional condition. A rare
offering. $1995. More Photos

along the back upper-shoulder area. The interior reflects incredible
construction with small leather tabs protecting the coat from the ring
attachments for the buttons. There is also an opening for the general's

pocket and immediate area has four sets of loops for the general's decorations. There are
loops above the left breast for an extended ribbon bar. This tunic is further enhanced by
being named to Generalmajor Hellmuth Hiepe. The tailor made tunic was originally
purchased by Hiepe as an artillery Oberst. The tunic's tailor label/ name tag indicates
Hiepe purchased the tunic 6.8.40 while an oberst ( full colonel). When Hiepe was later
promoted to generalmajor he elected to upgrade the tunic with the addition of
general's insignia. Hiepe commanded Artillery Reg't. 17 from 1938 to 1940. He was
later promoted to general on February 1, 1942. As a walking out dress tunic for an
artillery colonel, the red piping was authorized. Fortunately for Hiepe, the red
piping was also standard for officers of general rank. The tunic has several areas
of minor repair and light mothing around the dark green collar area and upper rear
torso. The repairs include a small mended area near the left breast pocket and
left rear side. This is highly desirable named tunic. $8750. More Photos

This exceptional tunic complete with its original accoutrements. Including the
grade 6-8 marksman's lanyard with 2 "acorns", ribbon bar and EK1. The matching,
sewn-in shoulder boards (red piped) indicate the rank of Hauptmann (captain) and
the Gothic cipher "B" shows he was in an Observation unit. The mis-matched
numerals "15" tells me at one point he was assigned to a different unit. One
of the rank "pips" was broken and is in the pocket (sorry) . I elected to not
repair this as I wanted this to be in as much of its "virgin" state as possible.
The collar tabs and boards match in wear. There is "vertigris" on the metallic
insignia indicating storage and age, The NCO style breast eagle is also "telling"
as to the authenticity of this wonderful tunic. The four pockets and eight button
front all having matching buttons and thread further indicating its "untouched"
condition. I love this piece. There are two small holes above
the bar that might indicate at one time or another a combat clasp was attached.
There is minor mothing evident on the back side of the wool collar revealing the
buckrum materal. This is not evident from the front so it displays well. There
are no interior labels or name tag. There is also a dagger slit. The exterior has
very minor moth tracking but nothing through the materal. This wonderful and
historic tunic is offered with all decorations for $1650. More Photos
