The only maker of the 1870 2nd class Iron crosses with a manufactures mark was Louis Lemcke (LL). All other makers had no manufacture markings.
Are you able to show the back of the cross?

Laurentius,
Swords on top of the cross were peacetime awards, swords through the cross were wartime awards.

Maybe a Herzogtum Nassau: Silver Military Merit Medal:

Thanks Ian.
I think the first medal on the left would be an Order of the Sacred Treasure(not sure which of the eight classes it is) and the second is the 1894-95 Sino-Japanese war medal.

Peter,
The last medal on the right looks like an Austrian Merit Cross with crown, although the ribbon is interesting.

CRBeery,
Do you have a picture of the front of the medal?

I agree with Demir about the neck order.
The 'Breast Star' looks like :
The Order of Osmanieh, Grand Cross Star without swords
