Die Uniformen des österreichischen Bundesheeres 1918–1938, Rolf M. Urrisk — First Edition
Publication: Graz, H. Weishaupt Verlag, 1993
Formatting: 4to, pp. 208.
Condition Report: Near Fine. The binding remains remarkably tight and square, presenting crisp, unbumped corners and striking green boards that exhibit virtually no shelf-wear. Internally, the text block is bright and immaculate, entirely free from foxing, handling marks, or oxidation to the pages. The accompanying dust jacket is similarly well-preserved, retaining its vibrant, original state with only the faintest suggestion of rubbing to the extreme upper edges, rounding out an exceptional, collector-grade example.
Catalogue Note: A true first edition, first printing (1. Auflage) of this authoritative reference work. The volume is profusely illustrated throughout with both black-and-white archival photographs and detailed colour photographs of uniforms, insignia, and accoutrements.
The book remains relatively uncommon on the UK open market, particularly in such well-preserved condition. The book serves as Volume 6 within the publisher's broader series on Austrian military history.
An exhaustive and meticulously researched visual history of the Austrian Armed Forces (Bundesheer) during the volatile interwar period of the First Republic and the Federal State. Through comprehensive archival research, military historian Rolf M. Urrisk catalogues the precise uniform regulations, tactical gear, and evolving insignia of every military branch, from the alpine troops and cavalry to the early armoured and air divisions. This indispensable reference work provides modellers, historians, and militaria collectors with an unparalleled look into the aesthetic and operational fabric of Austria's armed forces before 1938.

Book Condition Guide
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| New | A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage. |
| As New | The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years. |
| Fine | The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked. |
| Near Fine | The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition. |
| Very Good | The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present. |
| Good | A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy. |
| Fair | A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity. |
| Poor | A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance. |
