    I suspect some of the parkas got shortened for use by reservists and OPFOR after they ceased being used by the regular Bundesheer.

    Youre right. Reservists used it till the late 90ies and of course its used  today
    for OPFOR, some snipers use it too.

    I got issued some black ones. Never needed them so far. Hope it will stay like that.

    Depends on where you live Wink

    Dealing with Austrian stuff 5 days a week, it mostly bores the hell outta me.

    But the next few years should bring nice new stuff Wink We'll see...

    I missed the white belt and accessories posts until now. Awesome Smile I have some BW and DDR white stuff. Painting them black would make me sad!

    Nice find with the medic's canteen. I know they aren't that easy to find.

    Also got these gaiters. The frontside nearly looks like its made of some kind of reflecting
    material....If someone is interested in a pair, I have some left which I'm selling for a friend.

    Hmmm, maybe the pockets are for floatation devices. That's an option. They are also on the backside.
    SMG mags are too short, the pockets are way too long. I would take your Munga for the vest. Cool
    What do you think? Laughing

    That is an interesting vest for sure! Looks like someone had a very specific need and had the money to pay someone to satisfy it. I can't think of anything that this thing could be useful for, especially because the cells are on both sides. I don't think it's for flotation because why would they have a thermal padded interior? That would seem to work against floating. But hell if I know what it could be, so that's as good a guess as any Very Happy

    The reflective gaiters are similar to ones I have from Switzerland. My understanding was the Swiss ones were designed for bicycle troops. Safety procedure for night road marches.

    Maybe I will get some infos about the purpose of this vest in the futre. Maybe its just a tactical
    sausage carrying vest for chairborne troops.
    Strange piece but very interesting.

    Just found this early Austrian canteen bottle, very similar to the early West German ones in OD.

    That is a very nice canteen set. I have the similar Bundeswehr and South African versions. The manufacturer of your canteen also made M1 type helmets for several armies.

    Finally I found an even better example of this weird canteen bottle in nearly mint condition.
    Interesting that they made it until 1969!

    Cant say I ever saw one of these ..

    Cool idea to enclose the metal canteen in a cup with folding handles.

    Sure does save some weight..  I like a metal canteen ; always used one in my kit in addition to a plastic one .

    The design is like the german variant pretty unique. But not practical IMHO. They even wrote :,, Take off cover before heating,, on the plastic cover because Soldiers put the whole thing over open fire. Laughing Laughing You can imagine what happened. The later model of the canteen bottle was/is far superior. I have one which is date 1970 btw.
    Also the free handles on the backside must have been stupid during fielduse. Could have caught on things etc.
