Hi Mister Red!

Definately German, as the writing on the label shows.

Similar to the Cut of the WW 2 Navy Coat, but the pockets are different, and the coat also seems longer than the Navy variant. Not an Army Officers Coat either.

So pretty sure a civilian piece of clothing, age anything from WW 2 era till a few years old.

My guess.

Edit:
Nice Jacket, by the way. It Looks a bit evil... ;-)

Being German, I have seen quite a few of these long coats, ebay is full of them in black and dark green and some brown ones.. This particular model is most surely post ww2, probably from between the late 40s and early 60s. Haven't seen any official police or military jacket like this and the label looks cilivian too.

Edit; Just noticed the lapel and collar shape are a bit unusual... could also be of later making.. styles like these always popped up every now and then throughout the decades.. guess only thing that we can be pretty sure about is that it is post war and cilivian. The orange in the label could be a hint for the 70s but that's a wild shot.

Thank you for your input Senjorlossi. I am leaning towards civilian as well and yes it certainly does have a sinister look to it. Probably wouldn't be the wisest idea to wear it to a bank or indoor mall.

Thank you for your input Jacketjunkie! I know what coats you're referring to; I have one that's dark green leather and reaches past the knee and has no buttons, not sure who it belonged to. As far as this item I believe it to be civilian as well. One of the tags inside has the name Nikator, which I believe to be the manufacturer. Do you know anything about this manufacturer?
