For values, check the classified section.

you have a Luftwaffe Flak Badge, woundbadge in silver and civil service medal.
the civil service medal and woundbadge is original in my opinion.
The prices for both i would say 80-100 British pounds if you were to buy from a dealer.

interesting so the rest are fakes but those 2 on the bottom. the rest looked like they aged well for fakes.

how do you tell if the Luftwaffe Flak Badge is orignal or not? what are the things to look for

By doing a little research :-). Check through the forum for honest pieces and compare.

Well I could be wrong, but I've never seen a hollow back Luftwaffe Flak Badge and taking that into consideration my next step would be to say the second Heer Flak badge is also bad seeing as they share the same hardware, that "coke bottle" shaped pin. I'm going to feel real daft if I've gotten this wrong. :-)

For starters I'd say the placement of the eagle on the wreath is very high, higher than any original I have ever seen. And the overall detail in the badge is very poor.

Hollow backs were the late war ones I believe and are rare.
I still believe for it to be a reproduction however.

I've looked and I must admit that there was indeed a hollow back version made, but yours is not it. The one in the centre is the correct version. These photos were loaned off the net.
