We'll see what the others say, but I like them. I think these are some service awards (4 and 12 years) for Luftwaffe, Sudentenland or otherwise known as October medals that commemorate the 1st of October for the Sudentenland union with Germany, a KVK 2nd class with swords, and a west wall medal.
Could just be age and nothing, but that west wall medal kind of looks like it might have scorching damage on it. Makes you wonder if perhaps that set was on a person who may have met an untimely fate or injury.

Hello and welcome to the forum!
Most of what Scott has stated is correct, except I believe the one with the bar on the ribbon is a Czech annexation medal.
The damage to the West Wall medal could be a reaction to having been stored resting against something else.

Correct Ralph....

- Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938 [= Sudetenland annexation]: in a bronze finish [bronzegetönt]
- Medaille zur Erinnerung an die Heimkehr des Memellandes = Memelland annexation]: in a dark bronze finish [dunkelbronzefarben getönt]

Rhino - Welcome to the forum. Wise choice. The "bronze" is the Sudetenland annexexation and the silver one (middle first picture) is the Austrian annexation

Thanks for the help guys, I have decided to buy these medals.
Now I just have to wait about a week for them to arrive in the post.
Out of curiosity, to see if I overpaid what would you think is a fair price for each of these bars?

Hi jody
The bar has not arrived yet as I only just purchased it online about an hour ago, the pics I showed were directly from the website so I can not get better pics until it arrives, though it does look more like the second example you have shown... I hope I have not ended up with a lesser version ...

I was considering buying the first set in your photos - the one
with the West Wall Medal. I know some would frown, but the
ring on the West Wall could be twisted open and a better
example put on there - well, that's what I was thinking.
Congrats on your purchases.........!

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your collection!
