Re: Colour of Austrian uniforms in 1938?
Servus Ken,
The Austrian Bundesheer wore uniforms in Feldgrau. Many of the Austrian tunics were converted and used by the Wehrmacht during the war.
Here's a portrait of an Austrian Bundesheer Soldat before the Anschluss:
A converted Austrian tunic used by a Gebirgsjäger, note the Austrian scalloped pockets:
And here's an Austrian summer weight tunic, oatmeal in color, that I have in my collection:
Berg Heil und Horrido!

Hello Gentlemen!
Here's a link to an older thread with photographs of soldiers and NCO's belonging the Austrian Bundesheers Alpenjäger-Regiment 9, stationed in Steiermark (Styria). The photograps are from the mid-thirites and have unfortunately been a little bit cropped since I posted them some five years ago but still...

@ Bergführer: I am very much in doubt, that the fieldblouse (Feldbluse) you show in the last picture is original: Especially the colours of the ranks are strange: red (artillery) on the shoulders and green (light, Jäger) on the collar?
