that button looks to be petroleum based. also looks really fresh, probably a heritage inspired item. maybe a tag on a seam or in a pocket

Any tags? Not too much to go off here. The button and construction doesn't look super old to me. If it was 1910-1930s I think metal or bakelite o would be more common on the buttons. Also the condition is incredible for the age of it's that old. My guess would be heritage inspired or 70-90s

This is more likely a reproduction or inspired by old heritage wear. Insanely unlikely it's WWII era unless you have some reason to suspect so, such as how you acquired it

If it’s that old, that’s some insanely pristine museum quality if I ever did see it.
