1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 c5 4 cd5 and instead of the usual Tarrasch with 4 ... ed5 Black plays 4 ... cd4!? or ?! (I can't be sure, leads to a wild type of game that is fun to play, though maybe not against too good a player with white as white should be able to retain a nice advantage throughout.

Very interesting, thanks much!
I was looking around for some example, and found this one, anyone have any other interesting games?

I play the von Hennig Schara quite a lot, especially over the board against weaker players. I've a couple of games going on on this site at present against stronger players that you may like to watch.
I've not seen the 5...Ne7 move that's in your example. I normally play 5... Nc6 at this point.
Very interesting, Thanks Geoffb01
On Chessmaster, there is a nice game played by Alekhine as Black in this line. He uses his edge in development to completely overwhelm his opponent.
Sounds like a good game to look at.
White can also play 5.Qa4+
That was the line Alekhine played against. I actually ran this by Fritz and Fritz likes it a lot. That's saying a lot about the gambit if Fritz thinks a gambit is equal.
Well if Fritz says it good ... 
The most comprehensive source on the vonHennig-Schara gambit is the German magazine Kaissiber, issue 31. http://www.kaissiber.de/
