Ok, I should warn you all now that I am a complete noob, so if anything (or everything) I say is wrong, please tell me. I got a WW2 era overcoat a while back. It was in far better condition than I expected, and as far as I can tell, it was never issued and sat in storage ever since it was made. It has plastic buttons, so I think it's late war make. There are a couple moth tracks, but it took me a while notice them, and they're quite minor. Really, I'm just trying to get any information I can on it.
Secondarily, not to sound too mercenary about it, but I am kind of curious what it's worth, if anything. It's a pretty cool coat, but as a fairly poor student, I could use money more than I can use it, etc.

it's worth about $25.00 dollars

Heh. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Are these coats in relatively pristine condition that common?

if you' were to attend a military rally.( military flea market) that occur year round. you would see a lot of coat's jacket's etc.

Sort of a bummer, but D&B's right.
