They are fake SS Tuxedo Badges, those screw backs are a telltale for being fake. Also you can see casting flaws on the reverse.
Those two other badges are Luftwaffe badges the one on the left looks like a bad copy of the Ground assualt badge (Erdkampfabzeichen). Can't comment on the lanyard badge though.
It's better to post each item separately in their relevant sections of the forum. They'll get more attention that way, and it helps keep the forum tidy.

The Luftwaffe marksmanship lanyard badge (eagle and wreath) does appear to be original.
An old advertisement for a similar fake as seen in post # 1

The scull badge for the SS monkey suit is the ugliest piece of third reich metalwork. As opposed to the example shown in this thread there were some good copies sold at one of the major US shows that fooled many awhile back. They were sold as original and since so little was known at the time a bunch of people were fooled. My time here has passed though. I hope my friend F-B is healthy and free from the scull savants and ankle biters.
