Wow! That's a very interesting find. I would think this type of thing would be quite scarce. I'm sure that many were destroyed (along with the folks wearing them) after Hitler gained control.

Two pieces of insignia together? Is the second item a hat-pin?

Do you think it may be possible that someone had to lose those items in a hurry?

No. It's a trash field for over 150 years.People did throw away things,they didn't need anymore.
