    Even If I don't collect helmets, I thought I should have at least one Austrian army steelhelmet.

    Very nice...

    A couple of my Italian helmets have covers made of spare hoods... As you said, common practice in the old days..

    I took some more detailed pics and also found another Austrian helmet, with grey color, the OD one was repainted I think.

    If you're going to have something you don't normally collect, it should be nice. And you definitely have that with this helmet and cover combination! Very nice!

    Another piece of stuff I usually don't collect- unused messenger/map-bag.

    Amazing fresh condition- like from the factory.

    Found this nice current date pic on the Austrian Bundesheer homepage.It seems that the experimental KAZ 03 digi woodland stuff is still used ...Maybe something changed with the new minister....

    Cool! The eagle diving to the right is until 1968, so what is the age of the jacket? Is the stitching straight or zig-zag? I have both the 1st and 2nd type badges and I'm thinking of putting it on a jacket. Did the border guard use M69 uniforms at all?

    Mine is from 1962 and yes the right looking eagle was used till 1968.
    I mostly saw the borde guard patch on KAZ 59 parkas but also 1 time one a pic on an KAZ 69 jacket.

    Hey Alex another nice addition!!! I wonder.... is the eagle facing the wrong way??? as yours is worn on the left arm... I thought that the early, 1st type was worn on the right arm... then the later second type was issued after the decision to position the patch on the left (so the eagles would always face forward!!???)..

    Hi Alex

    I knew I had seen it on another forum Wehrmacht awards.. by BERNHARD very much considered an expert in the field...
    this is what he wrote...


    The Grenzschutz shield was the first official patch introduced in the Bundesheer.
    The date : December 4 , 1961 .

    The shield was designed to be worn on the soldiers right shoulder.

    On November 25 ,1967 a new order regulated the wear of badges for the
    Bundesheer ; from this date the shoulder patches have to be worn on the wearers left shoulder.

    Suddenly the good old Grenzadler looked into the wrong direction if the patch would be worn on the left shoulder.....

    so does this mean the early type were just transferred over.... facing the wrong way!!??

    Well that sounds interesting Paul, heard that for the first time.Maybe they used the early type one
    also after the second one was issued. Money was always low in the Austrian army. Laughing Laughing
    Maybe the same way the used every camo KAZ typ clothing mixed up.

    Yes I would say that's a completely plausible theory... is there any evidence on your example of the patch having been removed from the right side at all!??? sometimes the remnants of stitching are more visible on the inside.... or held up to a bright light source..(I have used this method to great effect in the past!!) but wouldn't that be just too good to be true!!!

    There are no signs of stitching on the right sleeve.Just checked it, the patch was sewn on professionally and the thread looks  old.

    My guess is the same as yours. The parka was reissued to the border guard from "old stock", not from brand new supplies. Possibly even worn by soldiers already. I assume the parka has the HBA stamp in it, yes? If so then for sure it came from military stocks and therefore this theory is probably a good one. If it does not have HBA stamp then things get more complicated Very Happy

    My parka has the HBA stamp so it came from army stocks for sure.
