Nice period Wehrmacht issue leather greatcoat or Ledermantel; you just need the appropiate buttoms, those with long loops, the ones for tunics does not go. Also the big rings to secure them in the back.
Here in WAF there is a member who sells them, as well any buttoms you may need. He is usually in the Stand.
For the boards, better threaded buttoms, that are not hard to find neither.

Hi guys,

what do you think this is a coat Luftwaffe or something else.
On the leather coat of the Luftwaffe could be a dagger hook with 'RZM' markings?

Thanks,
Sergey

The code M5/8 is for E W. Assmann & Söhne, Lüdenscheid. Despite RZM are only for paramilitary items, surelly such hardware where used in military items; I would not worry about too much.
You can hang the dagger you want; if you put Heer boards to the coat, hang a Heer dagger or if you puts LW boards, then hang a LW dagger accordingly

Hi Francisco,

many thanks for you reply

So it turns out that gray leather coats could be used by both Wehrmacht officers and Luftwaffe officers? I used to assume that the leather color of the Wehrmacht and the Luftwaffe is different.

Hi! The shade of the leather loooks like the Luftwaffe one.

About the boards, to fit in your coat you need to re-made the thread loops in wich pass the board's straps, because in this kind of clothing the loops was almost ever made with thread and not in leather.

Hi Leonardo,

thanks for you opinion about LW shade.

Yes, I know that boards should be mounted like this.

Best regards,

Yep, correct!

Seems your great coat never worn boards since the threads loops are not present and no marks of having been once attached
