Hello, good morning, I found this Kriegsmarine uniform, what do you think? It is clearly original, I await your opinion, the seller asks 1500 euros for it, it does not include the Mine Sweeper badge.

The cap is not technically Kriegsmarine, as it dates from 1925, the wearer having enlisted the previous year. I cannot comment on the other pieces without seeing markings and more detail.
The components might all be German naval issue (Kaiserlichemarine, Reichsmarine or Kriegsmarine), but not necessarily from the era claimed.
Sadly, a lot of pre-war (and even Great War) items get ‘dressed up’ to a far more sellable semi-Second World War state.
In the short time I have been studying and collecting Kriegsmarine (and now wandering into Great War Kaiserlichemarine) Uniform, I have seen some pretty clumsy attempts (e.g: a 1905 tunic in Kriegsmarine service)!
Unlikely, to say the least.
I follow Kohima in his reflexion, indeed the Tellermutze is from Weimar period and i think all the uniform too. I don't like the Bevo eagle on the chest and price is too high for Weimar Uniform
