I picked these up over the weekend. Any information on what they are and if they appear to be real or repos would be appreciated.

The two eagles may be OK. Silver for army gilt for navy.
The edelweiss appears to be a post war 1957 version, need a close up to acertain if it has a chance of being an early Austrian version.
The golden HJ badge of honor is a known repro. No period BM mark acknowledged.
The buckle I am not sure, close up needed.

Both eagles look OK!

Got to check my files on the others. Might want to place the buckle on the buckle forum. I see you did, but your picture did not take!

Joe,

I appreciate your help on these. The were all fairly cheap, so I'm not out much on anything fake. The fake HJ medal will probably stuck in a case with an HJ dagger I recently purchased until I pick up something origional to display with it.

Checked my files on the Edelweiss.
Looks to be the 57 reissue version.

Well I'm happy with the buckle and eagles. I'm probably give the edelweiss away to a neighborhood kid. Thanks again for taking the time to check it for me!
