Greg, follow this link to everything you ever wanted to know about Deutchland Erwache badge. I might be mistaken, but I think this particular variant (with RZM right above M1/129) is listed there as a reproduction.

I think the other two items are from veterans' organizations. On the hat badge, the golden wreath is upside down, it should point up.

Greg,

The badge with the gold colored wreath is for the Kyffhauserbund (War Veterans Support Association). The symbol is the newer style insignia with swastika added, after the Weimar-era Kyffhauserbund was taken over and sponsored by the Nazis. The insignia is facing upright, so I don't know why the wreath looks upside down. I haven't had that particular Kyffhauserbund badge before. Most of the Kyffhauserbund badges are in the $25-$50 range.

Regards,
Greg

Greg, don't be so fast to dismiss the Deutchland Erwache badge as a fake from looking at one website you will also notice they said while a lot of these are fakes there are authentic ones out there. Value wise I would say between $30 and $40 USD. if real.

The Kyffhauser cap badge looks goofy because the center piece just has two thin metal tabs on the back. They go though slots in the wreath and bend over. At some point this one has come apart and somebody stuck the thing back together upside down.

The eagle is from the NS Reichskriegerbund which, I believe, was one of many vet's organizations.

Not only is the center badge upside down it's in the wrong wreath as shown in this picture of two alternative Kyffhaüserbund cap badges.

IMHO Greg's Kyffhauser cap badge is a correctly matched (albeit with upside down center) transition piece between the ones James illustrates. I can't see how the centerpieces that James shows could be physically swapped in either direction without the application of a lot of Crazy Glue. The tabs on Greg's centerpiece looks to have been manufactured to match the slots in this specific wreath so perhaps this was an in-between variation.
