I have asked to post this group to the forum as I doi collect KM and I do have not enough knowledge to judge on the uniform by myself.
As I am interested to squire it your feedback would be very much appreciated.
Thank you

Without an airtight provenance it would be difficult to determine this uniform's originality from photos. Is there any information regarding to whom the uniform supposedly belonged? A tailor's label or evidence of one? Whether the insignia are original or not I cannot say but the over all sewing is not of a high quality and not neatly done as I would expect it to be. Is it Italian made? To me it would be better to err on the side of caution and not own it without provenance. At least the shirt looks to be an original standard issue piece. I hope this helps you.
It may by 100% real but I personally would not buy it at what I suspect would be the selling price unless it was documented and came from a veteran/family or was solidly named etc.
The selling price is on Dareks website so no hiding that (which I believe is a reasonable asking price).
I like the uniform and have already seen other tropical uniforms like this. It's a very nice privately tailored ensemble.
Personally, I like it. It shares some characteristics of a custom-tailored tropical Panzer officer's tunic I had in my collector until selling a couple of years ago.
