Austrian Police forces were also issued rifles as well as pistols during the occupation. All firearms issued to police forces were specified to be of "foreign manufacture" by the Allied Four Powers Agreements.

Here is an example of a British Enfield rifle that was issued to the Austrian Rural Police or Gendarmerie during this same time period.
