fishtail parka experts?

Yesterday I found an M-1948 parka in a thrift store.

this is what fishtailparkas.com says about the model:

"The very first fishtail parka was the EX-48-1. This was the prototype for the M-48 Fishtail Parka. This prototype featured an attached wolf fur hoood, heavy cotton shell and detachable "fibre glass" based lining plus the major distinction was it had a pocket on the arm (much like the MA1 flying jacket sleeve pocket). The production version was the M-1948 and was the no expense spared parka of the same above specification but featuring fur pile/satin liner....This model parka is extremely rare and fetch well over £1000 at auction in good condition and complete."

Mine isnt complete though, it lacks liner and the fur on the hood has been removed. Good, but used condition. Working Talonzipper, all buttons and drawstrings still there.

Anyone can give an estimate of value, or point me in the right direction?
