Purchased a box at an estate sale and these were among the items. I hope the photos will allow someone to identify them. I enjoy your site and thank you for your help.

Hmm, i have never seen the first one before, it reminds me of a Bomber claps, but it shouldn't have crossed swords then. The second one is original(I think). And the third one, is a civil work badge for the luftwaffe, i haven't seen that these have been faked before, but the back looks odd to me.

Looking for militaria from HKB 31./977, HKB 32./977, HKB 38./977 or militaria related to Norway
The crossed swords badge is a Luftwaffe ground attack badge (It's photographed upside down)
The wings with swastika appears to be some sort of DV badge, and the skull is a skull early SS or panzer.
As to originality................... I can't say , but the skull may have a good chance
LGA badges are pretty scarce
Thanks for the help - interesting indeed!
The clasp was awarded for Luftwaffe air to ground support i.e tank busting. It was instituted quite late in the war as the Russians were on the major advance. As for authenticity, it has a chance, I like the age tones to it and the detailing is correct. Its difficult to say as there are not alot of these around and they fetch a high price, so are often faked.
The pin badge is a NSFK/Luftwaffe flying association membership pin badge. I have the stickpin version of this. Yours is very tarnished.
As for the Panzer SS skull, I don't know enough about these to make a judgement.
Bill, is the clasp marked Osang Dresden?
Yes - Osang Dresden is stamped but there also appears to be two characters prior to Osang that I do not recognize. A mark maybe?
G.H. Osang Dresden.I personally like the clasp, but I am not an expert on these and better pictures are needed.
Will try to get better photos for you. Thanks for your help and information.
