Jim, the eagle is for an Army officer, either a breast(4 inches accross) or cap(2 1/4 inches) eagle. The other is the badge device that goes on an Army shooting landyard.

Thanks Raymond. It's a breast eagle since it's about 4 inches. Any idea of the value?

Hello Jim, can't help with eagle value. As Raymond said the badge is for a shooting lanyard, the second style, the first style has no crossed swords. Can we see the S/A, please? Regards, Leipzig

Here's some more items from the same stash, I believe this is an SS eagle. However the other "tinnie" type items(I have 6 of them all different 1 pictured) are a mystery to me.
I'll post the dagger over on the SA forum.

I haven't bought one of these in years, so I'm probably wrong on the price. I believe around $100.

If you're referring to the army breast eagle I expect $100 is ballpark. However I did a little checking in the meantime and discovered the SS eagle is a "rare variant" according to Bill Shea who has one on his site for $795.

I'm taking a wild guess and saying that they are the residents of the royal families in Germany at the time? I know nearly every little state/providence had one.
