Unfortunately, these Einwohnerwehr badges are recent copies. The details are a bit soft and they were never made with safety pin attachments. These have started showing up on eBay Germany over the last year. A real EW Deutschcland is worth about €125. A real EW Essen is scarce and worth about €300. These were actually service awards and came with very elaborate award documents.
The Einwohnerwehr were civil militia raised as auxiliaries during the communist uprisings in Germany in 1919-1920. They fall under the general category of the German Freikorps, 1919-1923.
The skulls are not Wehrwolf and may not even be German. At best, they're generic and not associated with any German paramilitary organization, IMO.

Thanks for the help. I had suspected the badges were bad, and I had no idea about the skulls one way or the other.

This is what a real Einwohnerwehr Deutschland Honor badge looks like.
