From Me:
I'm a bit hesitant to post this one because there a few things that look 1930's to me and I'm not sure if that's just stuff that was added later or if this was made in the 1930's. The overall cut is pretty consistent for the post American Civil War era - about 1867. However, the gimpy looking trim and the visible buttons look more modern to me.
