Looking for some opinions on these ID disks being sold locally for 75$CAD is this a good price point, should I barter him down a bunch. Also what do these translate to? (Unit, soldier, etc...)

On the top half EKM it's Deutsches Reichsheer. I think the half EKM on photo 3 is: 1. Kompanie Landes Schutzen Ersatz Bataillon (can't see a bataillon number). What I see on the 3rd half EKM is: Infanterie Ersatz Batallion 2 (no other numbers visible). I think the complete EKM says 2. Landwehr Panzer Abwehr, but the stampings look incomplete.
I my opinion the half EKM are all good. I'm no expert so I don't know what to say about the complete EKM.
I agree the half discs look okay ,the full one ............. Nein

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Phil,
The halves are fine the full disk is probably a mistake that was period made, I would guess it was salvaged from a trash pile by a metal detector. I think the value in USD would be about $40-50 for all.
Since your only paying $75 Canadian that must be a steal (just kidding).
Agree they are all original, the full tag looks like a field made replacement that was not completed.by Eike41
