Not very much I am afraid.

I believe they are all repros. The political pin MIGHT have a chance.

The ring is a common fake.

Welcome to the forum and thank you for posting. Unfortunately none of the items are of any value. The NSDAP badge is in very poor condition and won't have much value if original. The ring is a modern product as already stated and the oakleaves with SS runes are some form of fantasy item.

It's a shame, but sometimes you have to carefully inspect items, even from veterans. Being a veteran doesn't guarantee authenticity. Ask questions about where they got the items. They say believe the item, not the story, but doing your investigation it does't hurt to take the story into consideration. Maybe the items and story really do match up, sometimes they don't. Thanks for posting though, and welcome to the forum.

Don't let this scare you off of collecting, just be sure to post photos of anything that you are considering buying before spending the money. There are many friendly people on this forum that are happy to help you out.
