Mylle's Austrian Stuff

Wow Alex two!! and the first ones HBA stamp looks minty too!!! did you get them from the same place?? perhaps both issued to the same "tankie"!!

Thanks Paul, well the sizes are different but as I said the adding of handgrenade rings
to zippers is and was a common practice. Yes, got it from the same source. Had to dig me through 10 boxes of K4 stuff. But as I found the snapped button pants and those 2 jacket it was like christmas!

Oh and totally forgot to post my old conscript service beret and the tanker beret I've found today.

This KAZ 69 set meets the same fantastic conditions like my KAZ 59 fishtail parka!











Pants from 1976!

Another fantastic find Alex,

Beautiful new conditions and great markings.

Keep digging

Thanks Sal!Yes its my best set.

Another KAZ 69 jacket, looks normal at the first sight but its a nice modified piece!

A zipper from a DAZ 75 heavy jacket was added and also the cuffs have been modified.

nice modified Jacket Alex....it looks well done.... the Austrian army Snipers/opfor used these well after the K4 pattern had been phased out didn't they!??!!!!

Thanks Paul, yes they still use it today for opfor and snipers.

I'm very proud that I can post this very rare piece:
Austrian khaki KAZ 03 heavy jacket!!!









And matching tacticool polo shirt!







And yes there are typicall for the Austrian army, at least 4 color variants:

Another rare set:
Austrian pre KAZ 03 alpine set.

Very nice Alex,

Have not seen this type of Austrian alpine gear before; looks sturdy and functional ..

Another great find in a series of great finds..

Thanks Sal, its a pretty cool set and well made. I think they only issued a small number of this stuff. Only saw one jacket for sale before.

You have done VERY well for yourself! I've never seen the desert jacket before. So that is worn over the fleece when it's cold or on its own when it's just a little chilly?

Super haul of fresh Austrian gear Alex !!!!!! really like your rare Kaki jacket!!! even better with the badges too!!!

Thanks Paul and Steve! @S: Yes the heavy jacket can be worn with the lightweight jacket underneath or additional with the fleecejacket.I'm very proud to have found it, I guess I'm the first from the forum who has one.

@P: To find a matching nametape and the rankinsignia was even harder than finding the jacket! It just looks a lot better when its patched up.

Some more detailed pics from the alpine pants.
The zippers can be opened on the full length on both sides.
The stupid thing is, there are no pockets.

thanks for the follow up. Yup, I think you are the first and only member of this Forum with one. If someone else has one, they are hiding it

If you find any more name tapes, please keep me in mind. I have a 3 color desert uniform without a nametape and someday I'll get around to a KAZ03 desert set. Having badging on an otherwise plain uniform is very important.

Alex,

Nice detail photos. Lots of early Goretex type trousers had no pockets, or had pass through slits at best.

Good pick up, Alex...

Found this nice breadbag.



The leather is still smooth

Medic bag cover, with storage fadings.The colors are still fresh.

Nice haul again Alex!!! .... And the bread bag is an early one judging by the small black steel clips!!! Named to the back too I see!!!!.... has the medic bag K4 cover got unit markings to the cross patch!!???

Thanks Paul, yes the red cross has a SAN Staffel marking(the light on the pic is too bright thats why its hard to see).That happened often.
The bread bag is in very good condition, no holes or rips. And the carrying strap was also there.Often
they are sold seperate.And yes the bread bag is an early one.The stamp is the older variant.

Never thought I will find one, especially unissued and in my size.
Here is a KAZ 03 experimental woodland jacket!!!!

Alex,

Great score my friend, have not seen one of those in private hands; only in photographs..

Congratulations, I am of course very jealous...


S

Thanks a lot Sal,you can't imagine how happy and proud I am.
Still can't believe it .....
