The medal bar in the last photo you show ( with the 'Kaiser Centennial Medal' )
should have the smaller medals changed over to their correct positions.
I really like the Customs/Long Service bar.........!

final 2 pics...
Thanks for all the help and kind words!!
I have a friend who had a bunch of grenade pins like that. He saved the pin from every one he used in the war.Apparently it was the thing to do, kind of a status thing. Amazing group you have picked up. I like the Dutch Daggar, I've never seen one.
Thanks for showing

Holy smokes!!!! Homerun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Dutch dagger is called a Stormdolk and is a Model 17 and was used by the Germans after they took Holland. A nice piece with the original sheath. Very collectable-in fact i wouldn't mind buying it myself. The real prize of the lot looks to be the Paratrooper badge-can we see some backside pictures? The inscription on the Marriage edition of the Mein Kampf roughly says that the young married couple Buck and Adelmund were married with the official sanction of the district of Northern Friesland(which is in the State of Schleswig-Holstein,Germany) on November 13,1937 and received this book as a wedding gift from the Burgermeister. It,too, is quite collectable. The little Ortgies pistol with it's original holster is quite nice and desirable.
