Recently purchased black double-breasted overcoat

I was pleased to be able to find this fine overcoat. It fits like a glove, and is proof that if one waits long enough, I suppose one will find what he's looking for.

That said, it's nothing special, not tailor-made, but I love the very look of the generous lapels, and it fits perfectly.

Would anyone care to hazard a guess as to when this could be dated? The listing says '40's, but I would love to think that it's early to mid
'30's with those lapels and larger buttons. Any ideas?

The listing:

I would have loved to buy this navy one, but it would not have fit. Alas. Perhaps it has a larger relative lurking somewhere.
