Allegedly Austrian Ration
Posted: Sat Jun 14, 2008 6:24 am
"Nobody" has seen an Austrian Raion yet - thats why there are more rumors than facts about them.
Sometimes on Ebay some seller offer "Austrian Raitons" but after a closer look, they are also just ordenary civilan supermarket crap...
Even on the homepage of the Austrian Army (Bundesheer)
http://www.bmlv.gv.at/facts/management_2010/index.shtml
are no information how a real Austrian Ration will looks like.
Another "maybe" I got on ebay Germany. The seller promised a "genuine Austrian Ration".

The content seems like Reiter Travellunch,
the same as used in the German EPa leicht (1st generation).
The label say´s "Tagespaket" on it - it is the Austrian name for a 1-day-ration.
but it has a "best before" date on it. Very unusall for a military one.
The accessory pack
also contains some civilian made coffee a.s.o. but a bar of genuine EPa chocolate
I called the manufacturer in Augsburg, asking him some questions. They replyed that their company is producing for "several armies", but can´t give any furter information.
He recommanded me, to comapre "my" ration with a regular, civilian, outdoor shop, Tagespaket sold in their shops...

If you remove the red card board label - it´s seems the same.
As I paid less on Ebay than in the outdoor shop - I wouldn´t complain at the seller. I just pleased him to explain me the "genuine Austrian" before I will give him my feedback...
