What type of fur is this? I looked through the fur resource but was unable to pin it down.

Thank you

Hi, Can you please show a full photo of the front and back of the coat?

Thank you.

Here they are. Thank you.

I am guessing this is 1950's. Is that correct?

Hi, Thank you for the photos. Nice piece of fashion history. The fur is muskrat that was dyed to look like mink, it dates to the 40s, and has sling straps so you can wear the coat slung over your shoulders instead of wearing the coat with your arms in the sleeves.
