Agree with John's values. Nice finds, Bill!! (I've never seen a number stamping on a War Merit Cross, not sure what it might add in value). I'm traveling so can't say anything on the Political Leader Buckle

Bill,

The # '52' on the reverse is the manufacturer's code number used instead of their company name. It's not unusual to see these numbers on the reverse but to a collector, an added asset. Your piece appears to be a nice example and as said, is in an excellent condition case so I would estimate the value at around $350.

The Political Leader's buckle is the more common, larger size and it also appears to be in excellent condition so the value is in the area of $200. - $250.

Best,

John
