Were there any Schwartzwald Husar Regiments?

Very nice photograph. I believe the gentleman is Elo (Wilhelm) Sambo who was brought to Germany in 1891 by a Schutztruppen officer. Sambo served in several different units in the German army. The following link is a German language article with information on Elo Sambo.

Am 1. 10. 1905 trat er als Zweijähriger Freiwilliger in die 4. Kompanie des Eisenbahner-Regiments Nr.1 ein.
