I found these in my grandfather's house after he passed away. He served in the British Army in WWII.

Hello silhouette,

You might post these in the What Is It? forum for better visibility, to say nothing of the knowledgeable members that hang out there.

Good luck.

The first item looks like a Kriegsmarine Breast Eagle. The badge is an infantry assault badge. Hope this helps!

Welcome to Treasure Net !
The bottom one is a Nazi Panzer Badge of which there were many variations; as this site will show:https://www.google.com/search?hl=en...8.0....0...1ac.1.26.img..0.17.493.016HiM5Ha6E
The badge was awarded to not only those within the tank, but also to tank support groups (ground troops, medical personnel, etc.). Later in the war, more variations were created, some having numbers at the bottom of the badge to indicate the number of tank related 'encounters'. They also came in different sizes and metallic composition.
Don....

I looked these items over in the What Is It? section, and it's my belief they are all reproductions. I posted details there if anyone wants to know why.
