This one is supposed to be a summer tunic breast eagle but it appears to be a cast copy from a mold in my opinion. Look at the lack of feet, claws and head detail just to mention a few points

This is what a real one looks like

This is generally considered a fantasy piece. SS lapel pins conform to certain characteristics that you can look up on the forum. The pin attachment is most certainly not period.

There is an interesting thread that started on this type of pin you can look at.
The famous fake SS badge marked RZM M1/4 and Ges. Gesch.

This is a standard NSDAP uniform button as used on political uniforms. Hard to say if it's authentic as it looks pretty rough. I don't know who would bother to forge a common button

The top piece appears to me to be an Italian shooting medal. It reads "National Shooting Range For Country and King" The fact that it mentions the King indicates that it was made before the abolition of the monarchy in 1946. The man on the other side holds a Carcano rifle, indicating the medal was made after 1891. I did a quick search for Italian shooting medals and found many with artistic designs, but non like yours.
