Here is my recent find in a storage locker I won last week. The previous owner is a Canadian businessman living in China. I'm thinking this is an actual military coat and hat. The hat has actual bear fur...the coat has similar but not as dark as the hat. Opinions?

Re: Chinese Trench Coat & Fur Hat
Coat may be military issue - somewhere there ought to be the usual red printed box stamp with manufacture info. The bright buttons point this as being a parade or standing guard garment, otherwise it would be the large browny plastic buttons. Fur hat is probably commercial. An issue item would have fur identical to the one on the collar of the overcoat (although commercial versions of this exist as well).
