Picked up this military stuff at a sale yesterday. Not my area of expertise. What is it and what is it worth?
The eagle is an Army officers cap eagle. The sleeve patches are Air force senior airmen and staff sargeant (blue stripe across the bottom), the perched eagle pin is a Navy chief Petty Officer 1st Class collar device. Unless I missed something, they all appear to be modern so values aren't much, maybe $5 for the cap badge and $1 each for the rest.

Had to look it up just now. Looks like it changed to blue in late '75. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_enlisted_rank_insigniaI think you are mistaken on the senior airman patch. That looks like a sergeant patch. The senior airman patch the star wasn't blue. I got out in 1980 so I could be mistaken myself.
