One-buttoned german dinner jacket?

[levaid]

Hello all!

I bought this strange jacket together with a bundeswehr luftwaffe officer's overcoat. I didn't find any similar on the internet.
Please help me to identify it!

Thank you!

Looks like some type of mess dress, but doesn't match exactly to the BW LW ones here:

Thank you! Maybe a private purchase piece?

Nope, standard issue. I have one just like it. I don't remember what distinguishes it from the type without pockets, but IIRC it's the more recent version of the jacket. Here's one on eBay:
