Possible German great coat
I have picked up a grey great coat from an army surplus shop but have lost a button. Perhaps identification of the coat will help me find a suitable replacement button/ button set.
It is grey, double-breasted with round, flat, silver-coloured buttons with many inverted dimples (the best way I can think of describing them).
There are six buttons over-all on the front with an extra one under the right-hand lapel for particular cold. The lining is creased and a a similar colour to the wool of the coat.
Perhaps you can suggest the origin and a place to get a replacement button or two, or possibly a suitable set of replacement buttons.
Many thanks

Ah, I see it now!
The buttons have a small plain border.

It sounds like what you have is an East German greatcoat from the NVA. You can get buttons at Gowen Militaria - America's Original East German Specialists.

The button I see in the photo is not East German. It looks like it could be WW2 German. Lets see the rest of the jacket.

O hang on, it was established that the pictured button was not a match, hence the link to gowen militaria. Incidently, I spotted a match for 50p there so thanks for the tip
