Austro-Hungarian Hussar Officer’s Sabre
Hussars were light cavalrymen who originated in Central Europe in the 15th century and became famous for their bold fighting style, speed, and flamboyant dress.

“ANDREAS COMES HADIK GENERALIS CAMPI MARESCHALLUS EXCELSI CONSILY AULAE BELLICI SUPREMUS PRAESES”, meaning Field Marshal Count András Hadik, President of the Court Council of War.
