Help - what are these please?

[Patty D]

Hello, I would love to get some help on these and I'm hoping I've posted this in the right section...

I have been offered this lot of awards/insignia etc and have absolutely no idea as to their originality, or even what most of them are as this isn't my thing... in fact the only one I recognise is the iron cross. So any help as to their originality, what some of them actually are (and were used by... I'm assuming all are standard Heer?) and also rough values would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking guys

Large eagle is from the front of a Kriegsmarine 'Pith' helmet (fake or not I don't really know but I suspect it's a fake) the smaller eagle is from an Army visor cap .. could be officer or EM/NCO. The 1939 Iron Cross 2nd Class you've already identified, the other medal is the 'Honour Cross with swords' aka the Hindenburg Cross for WWI combat veterans. The ribbon bar is for the 1914 Iron Cross 2nd Class and the Hindenburg Cross with swords. The rank chevron is a Luftwaffe Obergefreiter if my memory serves me.

Hope that helps, Ian.

KM Trophelm Eagle ??
Small cap eagle £20
EKII £50 unless it's something rare
Hindenburg Cross £15
Ribbon Bar £10
Rank Chevron £30

If you work around the £100 mark you'll not be far out ... the problem is everything is really common and therefore could take a long time to shift along if that's your idea.
