Waffenfarbe (Austria)
''Waffenfarbe(n)'' or ''Egalisierungsfarbe(n)'' are colors that communicate the rank and arm of service for members of the police force or the Federal Army of the Republic of Austria (de: ''Bundesheer der Republik Österreich'') . They are also referred to as ''Kragenspiegel'' (English: collar patches or gorget patches).
