Husaren Attila, Prussian?

[GODISHIGH]

 

Hello, I'm interested in this Attila but but would like opinions on authenticity and what regiment it belongs too
Thanks for all help

Dark green with yellow braid were attributes of the 6th and 10th Hussar Regiments.

 

I think that this one is probably a privately-made tunic (or Attila) as it has no markings and the lining is of a superior kind. I am wondering about the shoulder straps as, for a trooper without NCO rank I think I would have expected single cords (as well as double-corded shoulder straps, an NCO should have a button on the collar). Perhaps this is the tunic of a one-year volunteer?

 

You will find some useful information here (including a photo of a tunic of an NCO of the 10th Hussar Regiment),

Is there a way to tell if it is either regiment 6 or 10?

 

Would the owner have been an NCO?

 

When would this Attila have been made, just an estimate?

 

Would the owner have fought in the First World War?

 

Thanks

Not with only the jacket to go on, as far as I know. Distinctive feature was the colourmix of the cap and the saddle-blanket as well as the collartabs of the coat (additional pink (10th)  applications vs red applications)

I think that this is a Mannschaften or enlisted man attila as I would have expected there to be a button on either side of the collar for an NCO. An example similar to yours but for an NCO is shown about half way down this page,
