Need help identifying my 3 medals

[fersher]

Hi. So my mom got tree medals from her mom, which she obtained after WW2. How these where found is unknown. We aren't not looking to sell any of it, but we would like to know the value and what we exactly have our hands on.
We live in Norway, in a city called Bodø. And there where quite alot of activity here during the war cause of the air field. And our city isnt too far away from Narvik, where the ship medals might have been awarded from.

The first one is a Iron Cross. And what ive understood from my research its a Knights Cross of the Iron Cross. Its marked 800 on the back-top and 800 65 on the paperclip looking pin. Its in its original case but is missing its ribbon. But in my opinion its in grate condition, no rust or scaling. If it gets cleaned i bet it would look better, so i think ill get some professional to do it.

Then we have two medals with ships on them. The one has a broken lock, but the pin is working on both of them.

And at last we have a eagle pin. Dont know what these are called, but its shown in the picture.

Hi and welcome :
With a paid subscription you will be able to post pictures your self .

First I must say : Do not clean any thing !!!

I am no expert but the 65 - Klein & Quencer Knight Cross looks like it could be the real thing ?!? ( 3 dot flaw) If you can please use gloves when handling it - it looks shiny enough and fingers leave 'smudges' .
Lets see what the experts say -- a real one cased might run 7000.- US or so ??

The others I cannot say - one is de-Nazified but they also might be ok - not my area either .

I am transferring 5 pictures here for better viewing if that is alright .

Any recommendations on how to store these?

Yes, the best way to store them is at my house...

Or my house. Keep them dry and out of the dust. A nice storage cabinet or box with glass lid etc is a good way to go. If the need arises you can also organise to store them at your bank. This is a wise way to go if you start collecting more high end items like the RK. You lucky thing, that's all I can say.

Ok, thanks guys.

Here's some two more pics.. Tried to get a bit more detail. Just me trying to figure out my moms fancy camera. Couldn't take any closer cause of the lens.

Hello Fersher, Everyone was so excited about the Knights Cross they did not answer your other question. The badge with a battleship heading straight for you is the High Seas Fleet War Badge (flatten-kriegsabzeichen) made in Tombac by Schwerin. The other is the Destroyer War Badge (zerstorer-kriegsabzeichen) made in zinc also by Schwerin. I believe the eagle is a breast eagle for the Navy dress uniform.

Hard to say what the High Seas is worth with a broken pin and a defaced swastika. The Destroyer is worth about 325 euro. The RK is worth at least 8000 euro I would think. Don't know about the eagle.
