Not an expert so wait for other opinions but they look OK to me. Some would say these are all party eagles but IMO what you have here are 3 "government" eagles (Post, Tramway, Forestry etc.) which are rather common and exist in 3 sizes, 2 colours (gold & silver) and a variety of die/metal/mounting hardware configuration depending on period & maker.
The 4th bird (lower right front & middle right back picture) is a 1936 NSDAP eagle which appears to be tombac. I have a specimen marked M 1/17 (for Assmann) which looks very similar. Not as common a bird as the other 3 as it was rather short lived. NSDAP changed their eagle design in 1934, 1936 (only version looking towards the right), 1937 (back to left looking eagle) and in 1939 for the last time. I've attached a pict of the 4 types with the 1939 at the top

Michael,
All the eagles shown are originals.... as JC said.... not much more to add... values $35./65.00 +/- range...depending on how quickly you want to turn them.... but all are "relatively common types".
