Another example, a gorgeous one for an Air Force Corps Commissar. The coat is an M1940 generals parade coat, BUT with Commissar insignia and no use of generals buttons...officers buttons instead! Not a general-no generals buttons! I think I'll hang on to him for a few months, he looks great on display.

Doug,
Weren't there supposed to be only 5 buttons (x2) on pre-1945 coats?

Marc,
I think #5 (going up) is just a fold, a shadow(?)...i'll check when i get home, but there is only one button hole on the open lapel.

I am getting a headache trying to see if there is another button / hole! Maybe there is! remember, parade tunics had 6 buttons, not five (others had 5) in 1940, so if its a parade overcoat maybe its also to have 6 buttons. I'll look more when i get home as I can't seem to get more detail from the photo here.
