    as far as i know, the only way to tell if its wartime, which i think it is, is if i had a shot of the underside of the buttons. without any insignia i dont think its possible to determine whether its wehrmacht or SS.

      Agree with comment above and by these pics in my opinion could be pre 1945.

          pre-1945; typical private purchase coat made in style of the standard regulation cloth coat. the under-collar color is a shade often associated with the luftwaffe but I don't think there was real standardization. the army and W-SS wore greay, brown and greenish w/variations in hue. so unconcened was the high command
          officers cd. even wear civilian leather coats (sometimes with insignia added).

          often the easily-gulled buy such coats - made in europe and germany especially from the 1920s to the 1950s - as "gestapo coats."
