Austrian Hussar pistol
How many of these were carried by a Hussar? In "Austrian Cavalry of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, 172-1815" by Acerbi and Molnar the entry mention one gun holster and two "light cavalry pistole" (p.130). I have only seen a single pattern pistol, the M1798, apparently used by all cavalry. I believe Hussars inaddition to the sabre carried only a single pistol and a carbine (or in some cases a short rifle).
