Hi Denise and welcome to the VFG! You have a beautiful coat! It resembles both mouton and sheared beaver as you said. Mouton is heavier than sheared beaver, and sheared beaver is very very soft. If it has some weight to it, I would say mouton. I will link you to our fur resource which may provide additional insight, and I will tag our fur expert Caryn @furwise who will undoubtably be able to help.

…. in the pocket a 4 digit number

That’s an old dry cleaner tag. It would match the number on the receipt given to the owner for a chain of evidence.

Hi Denise, Nice to have you here. Pretty jacket too. It is indeed mouton fur and that little number was a personal identifier that showed who the garment belonged to.

So do you have any idea who the maker of the coat was so with the number in the pocket you mean that the coat was made especially for my mom?
it is in exceptionally good condition i think my mom only wore it a couple times.
