How many buttonholes on either side? Too me it looks to be maybe four?
I think in order to be a German military overcoat from either war...even if private purchase custom officers or civilan modified after the war for were it would have to have 6 buttons on each side ( many WWI were single breasted and special WWI flying OC's had eight buttons I think on each side)
I can over look the cuff straps a bit, but the number of button holes should be 6 at least on the functioning side.
