Hi Ade,
Thanks for the verification. I take it this is an em greatcoat?
How much do these go for nowadays?
Cheers,

Agreed-original. Hard to tell condition from the limited photos. A plain Jane EM's overcoat in Excellent condition sells for, perhaps, $4-500, so figure accordingly on this one.

Conditioned seemed reasonable, I couldn't spot any mothing or anything, but I was reticent to untie it too much! Thanks for the guidance on price!

This is a Heer Officer's greatcoat.
Note the material and the dagger hanger.
I don't do valuations. That you can now find out via dealers site now you know what you have.
It lacks the shoulder boards.
Cheers, Ade.

Hi Ade,
Thanks. I didn't realise that officers had their greatcoats in wool. Was this model used for all ranks (the m36?)

Look under the collar. Trikot wool ribbed wool was the first giveaway in your original post. Not used on enlisted mens clothing. Second giveaway is the dagger hanger. Third is the lining and the lack of slits for the belt used on enlisted mans greatcoats.
Officers had to buy their own kit. They had a number of options open to them regarding quality and price. This would have been a slightly cheaper cost option in wool. A finer wool coat would have cost more.

Thanks for your help Ade! It makes sense that the dagger hanger would connote officer rank. I'm very glad to have acquired this coat, and moreover I got it for a bargain price! The fact that it does not seem to have any stamps is not worrying then?
