Help with some Medals
I received these items from a vets estate that I bought a P.38 and rifle from last year. Any help in the value would be appreciated since I don't collect these items and would like to keep them with the guns.

1- fire police 2 -wound badge 3-war service cross with swords ( no sawas center missing) 4- U.S p38 can opener 5- Alpine corps 6 & 7 day badges 8- appears to be a watch fob from the town 9-appears to be a post war copy of something. 1 & 2 are kind of interesting but unfortunately the entire batch has little value.

The item 6 & 7 are two examples of a U.S. "Ruptured Duck" pin that is awarded to disabled veterans... my Dad also had one lke #7 (now in my possession) that he wore in the lapel of his suits ...as a result of his limp caused by an 8mm MG bullet passing through the upper part of his leg while crossing an open field in Winterburg Germany in 1945. This wound took him out of combat just 90 days before Berlin fell to the Allies.
