Hard to say what they are. Sometime we are just limited by the quality of the original photo. Not sure making it bigger will help too much

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

We would need a closer photo of the lapel medals with more resolution even. Sorry
The back of the letter
It is written in German. Its translation into English is as follows
Zum andenken von meinen geliebten grosseltern.
Aus liebe.
As a souvenir of my beloved grandparents.
With love
Thanks TAB, Heres another zoomed in. I think they might be WWI. The lower left kinda looks like a veterans badge. what do you think?
It is really almost impossible to say anything in particular, since the silhouette of the pins on your great-grandfather's lapel can hardly be distinguished.
The only thing I would dare to almost assure is that what is more to the right of the image can be a buttonhole ribbon “Knopflochdekoration”.
I'm sorry but it's not possible to say something for sure.
Something like this.
Good luck with your investigation.
The silver looking award is shaped similar (thin oval) to some WW1 flying badges or tank memorial badge. Although overall size is I think smaller than original. This is just a best /worse guess
WWI German Pilots badge, real or fake?
Tank Memorial Badge - Wikipedia
