Help! trying to date a Schott Perfecto

Found this old Schott, trying to determine the age from the seller's pics. I'm thinking mid 70s, but I'm not super familiar with Schott. The belt loops are throwing me off because of the snap.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks @Marc mndt. I think you're right. Have you ever handled one? Are they worth the effort?
I've handled a Beck café racer of the era which was nicely made but the quality of the leather was rather poor. They're not all like that though, some were made from higher quality leather. Yours looks nice. Although those spots might indicate mildew. Might as well be dirt, impossible to tell from these pics.

It's the Schott-branded equivalent of the jacket they made for Beck as the 999.

Probably 60s.

Seller is sending pictures and responses in drips and drabs, but the leather actually looks pretty nice.....maybe I get to buy a jacket today :)

The jacket does look nice. I saw this listing right a couple weeks back, but the seller didn't want to ship. Great deal if you can pick up locally, just be prepared to put in some TLC to clean up the mildew / mold. Hope it works out for you!
