I could be wrong, but I get the sense the uniform has been put together by bits and pieces. It could well be an original tunic, but things such as shoulder boards, cuff title, medals could have been added postwar. That is not a huge problem for most collectors, as long as all components are original. The cap is something I would be very cautious about. Reproductions abound, from the very shoddy to nearly impossible to tell if the are fake or not. Plus, there is an area where authenticity is debatable since many makers, including not a few outside of Germany, made these caps. From the photo, the cap looks good, but it's usually the interior that tells the tale. Fake daggers are usually easy to spot. As with any collectible, condition is highly important and there are rare makers that might make a dagger worth more. If you can post additional photos of the cap and tunic interiors and the daggers, it would be of great assistance in evaluating them.
