THe 20 Juli 1944 Wound badge is an old reproduction, the two in the middle are post-war U-Boot veteran's reunion awards...I can't comment on the pole-top as I'm not too familiar with those...
cheers, Glenn
As Glenn says, the Verwundetenabzeichen is a fake 20th Juli badge. The other pieces I have no idea about but they will benefit from being posted separately elsewhere.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
The swastika and wreath emblem looks like a Bonnet/hood ornament for a car. Here's another example which is of a similar fixing as yours but probably a bit bigger at 3 3/4" in diameter.
It's also priced at $350!

Nice to see you finally took it off your Nissan Micra Ned.
It was a bit ostentatious.
