This was bought around 20 years ago from an antique shop and has since never been out of my wardrobe so it may as well go to someone who can make use of it.

Sold to me at the time as ORIGINAL but some "experts" have since claimed it could be an early Post War West German one but even if this is the case you will never see this quality in any repro available.

Will be putting pics and details later on-Thanks.

£80 which includes DHL delivery seeing as its so heavy/bulky.

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: just realised i havent put a size down.

Reason for this is that i came accross some pics i had taken a while back so will dig out the coat and report back.

The coat is 100% as it was when bought-nothing has been changed-the lanyard,buttons and shoulderboards are original to the coat.

Ok,realy hard to measure this one-underarm to underarm is approx21"" but these are fitted unlike the EMs coats.

To give some sort of idea im a 39 ish chest and ive just tried it on OVER a tunic and buttoned up the greatcoat is a SNUG fit. Worn unbuttoned im sure it would fit someone up to around the 42"" mark.

Also noticed that some of the buttons are dated 42.All are maker marked but not all dated.

No idea P2-thats exactly how i got it and has been hanging in my wardrobe for 20 years-maybe more.

Never seen an original to compare to so if it is a Police one is it compareable to an original-i know quality wise its top notch??

Just the job for this lovely cold weather.

Will consider trades as this is just taking up too much room.

hi,

coat still there? what size is it? M? L? XL?

£70 including DHL delivery? will you ship to asia? (indonesia to be exact)

Hmm,you seem to be pretty keen on almost everything anyone has for sale on here :shock: :shock: :shock:

If i would ship overseas(which i will not im afraid-Sorry) the shipping cost would probably cost more than the coat itself.
