great coat? good or bad?

[terrim]

I have no idea about this stuff. I would like a little information and if someone can confirm whether it is an original or not please.
it seems to be in good condition.
The buttons are Overoff

PS thank you very much for any help

The only I can help on this is the tag and it's West German and the patch is possibly a state shield for a police formation? It is original

[JPhilip]

Original and postwar
Thanks

[terrim]

thank you both.
Post war? Do you know an approximate year? How can you tell postwar?
In regards to the patch, I did read that the Flemish army had the Rampant Lion. No chance this is one of theirs?

I need to sell and any information for the buyer would be very helpful.

I can tell by the tag type as I've a few items that are West German and the tag is similar
I can't see all the numbers on the tag

I'm not sure which one this is, but quite a few German states, and cities within those states, have a lion rampant as part of their coat of arms, so the insignia could well be for a police unit from a particular city or state? You're right that various other European states have the lion rampant as part of their national imagery, but as the coat appears to be of German origin the insignia very likely is too. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that.

Here's a link to a similar lion

would the rest of the numbers help in dating this coat?
Seeing how good this coat looks, chances are someone stole it from a German policeman last week? Any idea on how much I might get for it or are there no quotes or guesses here?

I am very grateful for all the information

i believe it is a bavarian police over coat blue and white are bavarian state collors green for police modern post war.
