Hussar Blue… but which regiment?

[ccj]

Hello, I have this nice Attila for an Hussar colonel with a shoulder board underlay of blue. But, what color blue? I took a few shots next to my Hussar Regt 12 Attila officer’s board.

So, which shade of blue is the colonels board?

My educated guess will be the 14th, for they had that type of blue without a monogram on the shoulder straps.

The 12th and 13th are lighter in shade.

You may be correct. I was thinking a regiment that removed their foreign monograms once the war started.

Perhaps these pictures can help.
