Hello-

I would love some assistance in determining if this is real fur, and if so what type?

Three photos are attached.

Thank you so much!!!

Hi there, the fur is real and the fur type is nutria.
I can see a little bit of the skin under the batting which is what Mary Jane was referring to.
The coat likely once had a lining over the batting that was removed.
One of the photos shown appears to show a separation within the skin.
Based on the shape and style I would also date this somewhere between the mid to later 60s.
 
Hi everyone! Jolene @BlackLotusVintage let me know there was a post I could possibly assist with here.
I then forgot who I was, well my username that is, and Jolene helped me with that. Apparently at some time I must have been feeling peaceful about vintage in addition to being wise about fur, and changed my user name from furwise to peaceful vintage.
I’m good. I hope you all are doing well too, and it’s nice seeing everyone.
