vintage fur coat - can anyone recognize this fur?

[Illegally18]

Have inherited a vintage fur coat. The makers do not exist anymore. Can anyone identify this fur? TIA

My mum had a similar coat that was coney fur, it’s difficult to tell from photos though.

My mum had one, looks more like the picture on the right. I believe it was mink.

Looks more like sable than mink to me.

Musquash

Looks like mink to me.

Is it relatively stiff? Could be nutria.

The fur looks quite long. I was wondering if it could be beaver.

if it’s soft and rather short fur - it’s mink, otherwise I agree with @GrumpyPanda that it looks like nutria.

Definitely not mink
What do the labels say on them?

Possibly Muskrat or Beaver.
If you lift the lining the size and sewing pattern of the pelts might give you more clues.

My Nan had one which was coney. She said it was the cheap version of mink.
Just realised that coney is actually rabbit!

It looks very like my mother’s 1950s musquash fur coat.

Thank you ladies for your replies- but I'm still no closer to knowing what it is since your opinions have been varied. Now, could someone recommend a good honest furrier in London? TIA

I would say that it is beaver.

There used to be a furrier in Southend. They might still be there.

I'd say beaver. Not mink or coney.

Musquash ( a rodent as mink is) . Virtually everyone in my family had one in the 1940’s & ‘50’s. They were generally lighter in colour, but could be dyed to resemble any of the pricier furs.

I hope you are going to wear it, there is nothing as warm as proper fur.
