Help with valuation of the jacket

[Kamil]

Hi! Please help with valuation of this jacket . It is a German jacket, possibly from the 1940's. The main zipper is not working and the lining is torn in couple of places. The leather is undamaged. It's a hard and heavy leather, not sure what kind. No labels on the jacket just the zippers: RO and Ries. Help much appreciated !

not to offend anyone but I' m still amazed how people find grandpa's treasure again and again and get paid nice amount of $ with kindly suggestions from our fellow forum members

I'm not offended. But there is a reason why you used the word treasure. There is something really beautiful about a jacket that carries 80 years of history with it. Plus the quality, it will last probably another 80 with no problem(except the lining)

what am I missing here? it looks like it's from the late 1980's or 90's? I guess I don't know vintage German jackets.

With al due respect.. Ries only exists since the 1960s.
The Ro zippers are Asian made and last but not least the left hand zipper closing makes it a women’s motorcycle jacket and yes from the 70/80is..
