Kriegsmarie/U-boat Leather Jacket

[Rhodes]

I have a u-boat leather jacket and I am thinking of selling it. I want to know if it is a real one or a replica and how much i can ask for.
The jacket is dark grey or black (can not tell) in color, with gold buttons that have the anchor in the front and Kriegsmarine and 1940 in the back (sorry for the photo, I could not get a better one).
The inner pocket have a few numbers. The size of the jacket may be L or XL.
The leather is in good conditions with no cracks and only showing normal signs of age.












Thank you!

Hi there!

The jacket you've post is not an issue kriegsmarine leather jacket. Looks like an original example but is different to that for some features. The original one have a double row of five buttons, is lined with a heavy grey wool, the back (almost everytime - because in the late production the patchwork was quite made) without the central seam and a fake back hips strap. I don't know if the parka posted got it, but in the original jacket there's a wind stop cuff onto both of sleeves.

By my side this stuff is a post war refurbished jacket. Sorry...

Best,

[Rhodes]

Thank you for the replies!
