Heinrich:
I think you probably have a repro - Janke jacket. Stampings look repro (large, fat and hollow), looks like double stitching seams to the pockets of the lining and I am not sure I have seen the ends of the tie strings stitched on any original I have handled. The belt supports have excessive numbers of holes. Buttons are gray, not black...from what I can see...unusual.CSP

A few comments on your jacket.
Uncommon to find that lining material on a jacket dated that late.
Draw strings can be finished off at the ends.
Belt supports can have any number of holes but rarely go entirely up to the underarms.
Buttons, as cited, appear to be atypical.
I would suggest caution on this example.

I once owned a Janke panzer wrap and I don't think this is a Janke although it may be a reproduction. Janke is known for being the top of the line, or used to be anyway, in reproductions but one such as this, if it is not an original piece it should be referred to as a forgery and not a repro since it has been made to deceive. If it is newly made, could this be one of the eastern european products? It could certainly fool someone, such as I, who is not very knowledgible on the topic.
