The movement looks right. See the little screws holding the jewels in place? Those were used from 1924-1929. The jewels used after 1929 were friction fit.
As others have said, the dial looks a little sus. That orange color is a little too vibrant for what I'd expect to see on an original dial. I'd ask about it.
Case looks right. The price is probably on the high end for what I'd be looking to pay. That said, if the movement had been serviced, that's worth something.
This is really helpful (and fascinating info too)! Thank you
