    It seems to me that this is the owner from Germany. And here his data is indicated.

    Men's vintage clothing doesn't typically have the same interest as women's so the values tend to be low. You can do an eBay Completed listing search to see if there might be interest. From the label and yellow fabric detailing, yours doesn't appear to be terribly old.

    The top label says:
    Schneidermeister
    Kurt Fussmaul
    Altbach/Neckar

    Which means:
    Master tailor
    Kurt Fussmaul (the tailor's name)
    Altbach/Neckar. Altbach is a town in the Neckar region of Baden Würtemberg, SW Germany

    The bottom label says:
    Mass-Anfertigung. (Custom made)
    Aus P-tuch. (From P-cloth)
    Ia Merino. (I don't know what Ia means, Maybe the quality of Merino wool?)
    100% Schurwolle (100% pure new wool)

    All in German, not a word of English or Gaelic.;) And it clearly refers to the tailor and the woollen cloth he used to make this coat.

    I speak German and I know the Neckar region, so it was clear to me from the start.:)

    Custom vintage pieces are always a trickier sell as they're cut for a specific customer and not a standard size.

    Ah. Well, learn something every day (and excuse my ignorance above.) Yours is a coat designed as formal riding attire. That will help you in your search for comprables.

    It's a pretty beastie. Bit of a bear to sell though. I wear vintage mens' smoking jackets but not the tailcoats. (I'm allergic to wool but not to bling.) In the USA women's formal riding coats tend to be dark while the men's are red. Some guy may have worn this in his wedding?

    Or a musician? One making some bucks? Then again a professional would wear his early and often and good quality would pay in the long run.

    Put it in the equestrian section of sporting goods on eBay and it should sell well if the condition is good.
