Austrian KAZ 75 Combat Belt, Surplus
The most iconic combat belt of the 20th century was the US combat belt that was in service before WWI and after the Korean War. Even the succeeding model bore some resemblance to it and the basic idea was copied worldwide. Here's an Austrian variation with familiar M-1956 looks and a Bundesheer buckle.

The most iconic combat belt of the 20th century was the US combat belt that was in service before WWI and after the Korean War. Even the succeeding model bore some resemblance to it and the basic idea was copied worldwide. Here's an Austrian variation with familiar M-1956 looks and a Bundesheer buckle.
This is most likely a one-off batch.
The grommets are compatible with all US M1910 style pouches and accessories as well as harnesses with a hook attachment. The width of the belt is compatible with US ALICE Keepers.
A couple of side-opening clips are included, these are much like US keepers but will obviously never rust, weigh less, and are probably stronger, too. As an interesting detail, these were manufactured by Glock back in the day when they were not famous for something completely different.
Size info
Two lengths available. Even the smaller one is quite long.
- Size 1: 17 columns of grommets, length ~120 cm / 47"
- Size 2: 21 columns of grommets, length ~140 cm / 55"
Used army surplus
These are old pieces of combat equipment and the signs of use and wear are prominent. However, nothing is broken and these are in a serviceable condition.
Austrian surplus
Functional, neutral, clean. That's what the Austrian Bundesheer gear is made of. Our Austrian surplus revolves mostly around the Anzug 75 and Anzug 03 clothing systems, but who knows, maybe the "Tarnanzug Neu" will make it's appearance if the Austrians decide to clear the stocks in the future. Get your OD gear while the stocks last.
After the Second World War the Austrian soldier looked like a weird mixture of Allies and Germans; the M1 style helmet and general profile really tried to bring that NATO vibe up, but a lot of the gear and even the dotted camouflage pattern looked surprisingly much like WW2 German issue. In the 70s they took a major leap towards NATO with the introduction of the all-green Anzug 75 clothing and equipment system closely inspired by the American equivalents, finally letting go of the "old stuff". The Anzug 03 brought the game up to date with some changes in effort to modernize the whole thing. Now the Bundesheer is again moving over to camouflage.
