Hi Железный,
Nice little grouping. Too bad there's no service record or other documentation to indicate that they were all originally from the same sailor.
At any rate, the 1st pattern U-Boat clasp is the nicest condition I've ever seen.
The zinc S&L is only the third one I've seen with the "4" marked pin, which is UC# 1.2.10 in the classification system.
I can't comment on the I.D. tag but perhaps member "glaser" could?
The candidate's badge (Bewährungsabzeichen) is not the usual factory-made type, and I see Detlev has taken the liberty of describing it as "Zeitgenössiche Frontfertigung", but really without verifiable provenance all one can say is it's home-made, rather than standard issue.
The value on the COA seems rather high for the sum of the parts, but anyway nice items.
Best regards,
---Norm

As Norm said, the valuation of this very nice group of artifacts is based on the sum of the parts. Unfortunately, nobody knows if the group was always together like this--even the dealer probably would not have known. Past tense since Detlev is no longer in business.
I think Norm meant "hand made" and not "home made" as I doubt if somebody's mother sewed this. It looks fairly well done, so perhaps a local tailor did it or seamstress or even a small manufacturing concern. Very hard to say exactly where.
That is the problem with so many patches but I think this one is nice and I like the fact it is a one of a kind example as far as this forum is concerned.

That's a very nice first u-boat clasp in a wonderful condition, but your swordfish emblem intrigues me more, because of the green on yellow combination which let me believe that this emblem has been (self)made for u Molch/BIber-fahrers, as far as i know these branches within the Kleinkampfmittel had to wear these coastal artillery tunicsComment

IMHO a self made ID tag i couldn't imagine that these are issued by the Km
