The BCWFN (not "rN"?) is mentioned on the ZIPP website as first appearing in 1944. The ZIPP on my trench coat, FWIW, is stamped "DRP N?ºrnberg". But it's clearly a 50s jacket. So a stock control issue, i think.

Thanks for the reference to the website which I've checked out. You are quite correct about the BCWrN. I misread the "r" for an "F"! It is stamped on the back of my jacket's Zipp breast zips. They date the jacket to no earlier than 1944. I would like to know more about Prym snaps. How long were Prym 6 snaps used for? BTW there is a very similar jacket to mine on Ebay. The seller says it was used by a Luffwaffe pilot, but the insignia could be recent additions. Here is the item no. 170181953383.
