I believe the Wehrmacht helmet is not actually a badge as such, but a decorative emblem that has been detached from a soldier’s photo album. Some examples:





They’re common items of a non-official nature, purchased by troops for personal use to record their exploits during WWII and popularly known as “Meine Dienstzeit” (my period of service) albums.

Loads of different styles exist and you can pick up the albums themselves from around $50 upwards, with the value depending on the number of pictures and the degree of interest they hold. A detached emblem has minimal value.

Better pictures are needed for the other two items to determine exactly what they are.

You're welcome... but the pictures are not good enough on the other two items to say what they are.
