Brandon,
You asked, "Wouldn't it be nice to find a uniform to go with it?" Yes it certainly would. Here is a photo of Field Marshal August von Mackensen, who led the 1st Leib Garde Hussars.

The second picture is his jacket or "Attila" that was at auction about a year ago. I think the reserve price was around $20,000. A lot more than I will ever be able to spend. <img src="graemlins/r.gif" border="0" alt="[king]" />
