I am new to this, so I'm making my best guess at the correct forum to post this. I have these badges that I believe are WWI or earlier, but I can find no similar badges on the Internet. Can you help me identify them? Thank you.

Hi!
The pictures are quite small for my old eyes, but I think No.4 can be the
Principality of Reuss: Memory badge for the Silver Wedding 1909, presented to all guests of the festivities by Prince Heinrich XXVII and his wife Elise, Princess zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg. Should be made of silver and have a transverse needle...
You want to sell it?
Regards
Hagrid

So sorry for the small photos. I was having a hard time getting them to show up, so I thought maybe making them smaller would help. I will very likely sell all of these (if they have any value) and will certainly get back to you to let you know. Thank you so much for letting me know what you think it is.

A patriotic badge - I've seen the same at Hermanns, but the cross was white with red edges there.
And the previous picture that you liked so much shows the saddlebag of a prussian Husaren-officer...

Once again, thanks so much! Searching for these on the Internet is a little like your mother telling you to look up a word you can't spell in the dictionary. If I don't know what to call it, it is hard to search for it.
A saddlebag? Good gracious. That's awfully fancy. Perhaps it was for decoration only? Or that particular officer didn't get very dirty.
Still working on bigger pictures. I have a few other badges that I haven't identified, so I'll get better pictures before posting them.

Looking at the actual size of 28 X 34 cm that´s definitely a more precise name for it - thank you!
Due to copyright reasons I have to mention -what I forgot - my source anyway (they call it "saddle bag" there...):

It´s from a museum named "Regionalgeschichtliche Sammlungen der Lutherstadt Eisleben"
