Need help! Another Inheritance

Hey guys. My grandmother came over today, and showed me these items. Her couisn was in the Airforce(maybe Navy Airforce) and was killed in a mishap. These items(other than the book and paper items) were sent home with his body. They have been stored in her attic forever. She gave them to me because of my interest in militaria. I’d like to know much about these, because it wold make my Grandparents very happy. Any info is alway helpful.
NOTE: I placed the insignia/medals in the display box today. Everything came in an old cardboard box.

Luftwaffe Beobachterabzeichen.

Following Pammy’s ground dug Meybauer Beobachterabzeichen thread and because they’re my favourite Luftwaffe badge I wondered if there are any more out there belonging to forum members?
So, if you have one of these badges, any maker, any condition lets see some……
Here’s mine, a well worn tombak Juncker with a replaced pin. The recipient’s name is scratched into the back of the eagle - H Zimmerdahl.
You can see from the side on shots how much use the badge has had……

Luftwaffe Erdkampfabzeichen - Good / Bad ?

Hello Everyone,
I've been offered a small convolute from a former WW2 German Parachutist who recently died, within the convolute was this Erdkampf Badge. It has no makers mark, to my untutored eye the finish on the back looks very rough, but then I know next to nothing about this badge. What do members think, is this badge is the real thing ? I must apologize, I took only these two shots and forgot to take one with the pin open. Hope there's enough to see, for members to form a opinion. Any information appreciated.
Regards
