Welcome to the forum oldthings. I know very little about the originality of SS uniforms, but I do know that only a telepath could tell from the photos you have provided.
You will need to provide MUCH more detailed photos than these for those in the know to help you out.

Brother I wish you all the best but the coat is bad. It looks like green denim material. The insignia are all bad Latvia shield sleeve eagle collar tabs etc. As well as the interior liner. It's just no good. Best regards.

Comparison. Again collectors guild images

The uniform alone would be suspect to heavy scrutiny. Together with the ground dug 'SS' lid and the dreaded helmet-with-wire, it would seem that this seller is very much in the profession of 'con artist.'
In short, these are most likely fakes or embellishments and as such are a complete and utter waste of money.

In this hobby, research and foreknowledge is imperative. You absolutely must know what you're buying, especially when it comes to anything related to the SS. They are rare and desirable items, and as such are regularly -- and sometimes very convincingly -- faked with the express purpose of parting new or inexperienced collectors from their cash. It is said that for every genuine SS item on the market, there are dozens of fakes. These items are very much the latter.

Best regards, B.B.

In America I too have seen a large amount of items, particularity on eBay, coming out of Lativa. A shame it was bad, but on the bright side, your bank account lives to buy another day. All the best and happy collecting!
