Interesting Vintage A-1 on Ebay

Hey guys, I saw this A-1 on Ebay and actually bid on it but I have been outbid. I don't think I will go higher in bidding because I don't think there is any way to prove when it was made. The label and the original buttons are gone. The seller says 1930's but I am thinking it is more recent due to the knits and liner.

At first I was thinking it was the most amazingly preserved 1930's Capeskin I had ever seen. But now I'm thinking it is probably Goatskin, and more recent. What do you guys think?

It is not that old...probably more like 10 to 20 years old...not up enough on these to say who made it, but someone will know.

Hi Jay
It’s nice, but not ‘30s in my view. I’d agree with 20 years or so.
I’m not decided, but it could be goat.
I’ve seen one of these before (with single button collar and buttons to waist, and higher pockets), but can’t think where.
It’s already at £400, about where it should be in my view.
Cheers
Ian
