Two Prospective SAs. Opinions?

Hi, all. So along with the 2 HJ buckles I posted I was sent photos these SAs. I've seen both of these designs here on the brass SA sticky and elsewhere, however I don't know how common or scarce each design is and which might be an earlier piece (if determinable as I think they both might be earlier buckles.) Aesthetically, I like both of them and the seller's asking the same for each so just trying to decide which I might go with first.
On the subject of unmarked SAs, I am just curious about non-marked buckles and makers. I never seem to hear much about who might have made an unmarked SA, who it could be attributed to, etc. Is this a task not really undertaken or feasible with some SAs?

Thanks for any thoughts or opinions on these two cool militaria

Best,
Adam

Two Unmarked HJ Buckles: Need Help With Maker ID

Hi, guys. I was sent photos of a few buckles recently, including these two unmarked HJs. It's still hard for me to tell based on photos, but I believe the first one is steel with what looks like (on the roundel at least) a silver spray finish? The first buckle also appears to have less detail than the 2nd. For this reason and because it is unmarked is this perhaps a wartime production buckle of a lesser quality than the 2nd?
The 2nd buckle is also unmarked as far as I can tell from the photos. The roundel appears more detailed and the eagle's head looks like some Assmann HJs I've seen. In my my novice assessment I would say this is an earlier steel/nickel type of good quality?

Any thoughts on these two buckles or help with maker ID would be most appreciated.

Best to all,
Adam

The Bulgarian Brannik organization

From December 1940 to September 1944, Brannik was the official /and the only/ organization of the Bulgarian boys and girls. Made in resemblance to the HJ, after the commies came to power it was abolished and the Brannik items were mass destroyed by their owners, as these could bring big trouble. So, finding Brannik stuff for the collection is not easy, even in Bulgaria!

Here is what I have collected so far, I hope you will enjoy these seldom seen things
