This is a piece I'm considering purchasing - he's asking $700 I think that's fair? And it looks authentic. Is everyone comfortable with this being war time issue?
Stay away idiot!
Could be worth it - do more research!

Not one that I would want, and the price is way below market. I would seriously suggest doing some research before getting stuck with something that is junk and not worth anything
just too fresh looking? like as in the fabric?
Nobody is going to sell an original at that price. Honestly, I'd suggest not buying anything from this seller. All of the items you have posted appear to come from the same source, and he appears to have nothing more to offer than a collection of junk.

I feel you should offer him $10 like as seen on the orange sticker would be more realistic ..if the cap Gents feel its not worthy

All the items are from the same source and I suspect he probably got swindled a few times but I'm sure theres a treasure in here somewhere theres just so much stuff. I just don't want to be the next to get swindled! So I'm trying to do some homework before I get hurt~
and this is a tough learning curve....
The center SA dagger has been messed with and is a mix of varied period fittings. The crossguards and grip are Suhl produced.
The other 2 SA daggers also are comprised of other fittings.
The first model Luftwaffe dagger looks promising in that one photo.
Yet the more photos the better. if you can get more of the daggers..please post them in the Third Reich dagger forum.
The SA uniform..a more qualified man of the cloth would be beneficial

The moths had their fun on the Kepi. Sky blue from SA Hockland? But I think it is an original.
Looks like a mixture of good and not so good and fake.

Be very careful with this seller. Looks like a closet-collector who was not up on the fakes.
A lot of these older guys are now dumping their collection on unsuspecting newer/younger collectors.
I suspect his collection has already been cherry-picked for the good items, leaving the junk leftover.
I would say he knows what he is selling is bad--his prices are way below market for real items, but very high for fake/repro/messed with stuff.

Here is a real Dachau M-43 Panzer--note exposed cardboard underside, which is typical of these.
Also note what it sold for: $3900:
