Hello.
I am looking to buy a certain BW tunic that has markings ''Heereseigentum, 92 / IV'' on it.
What do the numbers and letters ''92 / IV'' mean? Could it be a size marking? 92cm chest size perhaps, but what does the IV mean?
Strange BW markings?
Hello.

I may well be mistaken here and will gladly stand corrected, but I think it is the year and month of manufacture.
"Heereseigentum" means "army property".
I have tried to research this but I can't figure out what this tunic is supposed to be. Any help?
That, colleague, is an Austrian army tunic.
Bundesheer - Uniformen und Abzeichen - Die Uniform
One distinguishes between Bundeswehr of the FRG and the Bundesheer in Austria. The air force in Austria wears essentially a similar uniform.
The Austrians did or did not, more or less, retain field grey in 1955-6, whereas the Bundeswehr Waffenrock is a slate grey. The first Bw uniform was very dark grey, and changed ca. 1957 or so.
I have seen these truths with my own beady eyes.

Is this a Bundeswehr picture or a Bundesheer picture....? It is a trick.
a hint, and an image I recall well from my studies the year this image was made...
Thank you for posting all the great, illustrative images. I had my doubts whether it was German at all.by Friedrich-Berthold
