Re: The Bundesheer, the modern Austrian Army.
Thank you for the photos and the link gentlemen I assume the soldier holding the flag would be part of an honor gaurd ,And you are correct Steve there are virtually no dress uniforms on the market that I can find for sale either Iam unshur if the Austrian goverment releases them to the market as surplus.

There is a guard corps in the Bundesheer, which wears white trappings but otherwise wears the normal Bundesheer service dress. The uniforms are all on the official link included here. I am sure you can secure these things in Austria, itself.
I have no idea how their surplus structure works versus that in Germany. The Bundesheer is a pretty small army, which has recently gotten much smaller. I know many places in Vienna where you can find this stuff, though.
PS or they wear a brown belt and the officers wear breeches and riding boots versus the long pants otherwise in wear.

Thanks. The places in know in Wien are old fashioned shops, actually, without any internet presence as near as I can tell.
One is on the Opernring near the Meridien and the academy of arts, kitty corner to the Opera on the other side of the street and one is in the Siebensterngasse in Spittelberg, off the Mariahilferstrasse.

it is the same for the italian uniforms to get any "proper" ones it is best to go to italy i would hazzard a guess that will be the same in austria (it gives me the excuse to go on holiday )

The Architecture is some of the finest in the world there is much to see there and of course not enough time to see it all.
