    Can you help me identify and/or value these pieces?

    Good Morning!

    I’m primarily a <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on">US</st1:country-region> medal collector but I picked up a pile of imperial German and Nazi medals and insignia at an estate sale last weekend. Most of the Nazi items were easy to identify and I have a rough idea as to their value. However, I wasn’t able to do so good on primarily the imperial items. I have provided four scans of the items I’m looking to get help with. Most of the items I know are veteran association items. However, most of the medals are very well made, some are engraved, and the nicely struck ones are marked .990 silver on the rim. As for the Nazi items, I know there are two real Olympic pins. One is engraved with what appears to be a name. I haven’t ever seen real Olympic pins.

    Lastly, there is an Assman Pilot-Observer eagle that is missing from the wreath and a cheaper Nazi Party pin. I’m just curious as to what these are worth as I haven’t seen just an eagle available or seen a cheap pin sell in quite some time.

    Again any help will be most appreciated!

          Interesting grouping of mostly unofficial commemorative items and student pieces. The inetresting ones though are the one in the center and the 1813/1913 commeorative. I cna't quite amke those out. My guess is the one in the center is a shooting prize for a local municipal shutzverein, but maybe its a regimental one.

            Yup, mostly unofficial items, including a nice watch fob, a couple of nice 1936 Olympic pins, and an 1813-1913 medal. The cross in picture 3 is from a shooting club, but I think the ribbon does not belong, as it has a typical watch fob suspension. As for values, I would probably try and sell it as a group, as nothing is of particular rarity.

              I think the fob will sell very well in the US if you will combine it with a old pocket watch. ;-) The other items ar nice but nothing with a bigger value.
