Sorry to inform you that the items posted are all crude fakes, typical of what we see coming from Poland...That small eagle with the large red swastika is actually a fantasy item that never existed at all...

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I will say that even with these pictures, all the items are unfortunately fake IMHO.
Sorry.

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

That Screwback NSDAP Party Badge is a one-looker fake. It isn't an enamel and certainly isn't a late war painted version...
The Eastern Front Award is a cast fake that has been beat up to give it some age...
Take some time to compare with the originals on the Forum...
cheers, Glenn

Sorry, Glenn beat me to the punch...Dang kids distracting me.....
The Eastern Front (Winter medal) is a crude cast fake. The DAP pin as well appears to be bad.

If the ring came from the same grouping as the other items I would not hold out much hope. Real versions of this ring are extremely expensive and there are 1000 fakes to every one original. The 1944 Wound Badge as well is extremely rare only given out to soldiers who were injured during the assassination attempt on Hitler. Don't remember the actual number awarded but it is just a few dozen or so. (Junker the maker of this badge is said to have made only 100 out of solid silver).
