Here's a photo of a tag from one of my coats, but they're both the same. I found these jackets on eBay about eight months apart. They are clearly late fifties or early sixties peacoats. Thick, dark blue Kersey wool. Corduroy pockets. Stitching on the cuffs. Fouled anchor buttons.
As you can see, the tags display the classic format of DA tags from 1957 to 1962...but without any date. Of course, the coats can't be any younger than 1962 because they'd have a DSA number if they were. And I don't think they're any older than 1957. If they were, their tags would be formatted differently.
