Hi there! I have a vintage possibly German leather jacket, most likely from the 40s or 50s, with no brand name. It has a zipper on the left side, but it is a men's jacket. Germans, back then, were known for putting the zippers on that side. The main zipper has a horseshoe stamp, I believe the pocket zipper has a script letter L, and the sleeve zipper has the words "Rapid". Also, the leather seems to be goat skin. Does anyone have any information on this jacket, it would mean a lot!

German, Austrian, and Swiss jackets and coats still come with the zipper on the left for men's outerwear.
