Oberst (Colonel) of Hussars - ID owner

Well-known member
Would anyone be able to direct me to a resource that would give the names of officers of the rank of Oberst in a Hussar Regiment during WW1? I would think there would be very few Hussar officers reaching the rank of colonel and still in a Hussar unit, or wearing the uniform of a Colonel of Hussars during the war.
Thanks in advance for those willing and able to help.

So, I saw this amazing looking Attila for a colonel offered and was thinking, maybe we can ID the owner based on ranks, ribbons, loops for awards, and the regimental color of the shoulder boards…. DARK BLUE UNDERLAY
