Welcome to the forum!

Sorry but, from these photos, I see more that I don't like, than items that I do like.
Ralph.

Edit: Normally we ask that items be separated so that better opinions can be given but, in this case, I don't think that will be necessary.
Wait for other opinions though.

Unfortunately...lots of really bad repros in there...wrong pin types on a lot of them, bad markings. Hard to point out specifics on smaller badges when shown their backs en mass.

I put them all in to the fake bucket. Even though, as noted above, some are too hard to see to really give an opinion, they all have the same fake aging to them.

Well, I believe that Schwerin U-boat badges never used this large of catch or this style of pin.
The Nahkampfspange could possibly be original but, the condition of the back plate does not match the condition of the badge, (messed with)
A lot of the tinnies and pins do not have war time hardware.
I doubt the pilot's badge is original.
You would have a hard time convincing me the Ritterkruez is anything more than an EK II in poor condition, and broken, (missing ring).
You would need MUCH better photos of the PLM to come to any kind of conclusion.

Hope this helps.
Ralph.

Adding to what Ralph said, the suspension ring on the PLM should be sterling. This one appears to be rusted

Unfortunately better pics are not available, but at this point thinking of passing this grouping, anyway here are a couple more things just in case. Thank you guys for your time.

An original visor wreath, and a fake sub clasp that someone has fastened to a cast, silver plated goblet.
Look at the seams on the sides of the stem.

JorgeAguilera, Personally and with no malice intended, if I were you, I would stick to tinnes, at first, to get your feet wet a bit, and if you were really seriously thinking about the goblet even having a remote chance, I would ask here first, before buying any said tinnies.. I never understand why 'Collectors' want to start at the top and work their way down, it doesn't work that way.. Either way, keep trying and apply yourself, you'll get there... G
