    Upper left is the Hungarian Combat Leaders Badge - given to officers who were qualified for front line service of brigaed and below (WW2 vintage). The upper right looks to be a civilain Hungarian Airlines cap badge (not certain - 1930's ?). The others - sadly I cant comment one

    Gentlemen,

    I am not an expert in Austrian Awards (I collect Soviet & Yugoslavian Awards), but I am a native Austrian ;) .

    Scan #2, down in the center, that seems to be a typical "Krukenkreuz" from the period of "Austrofaschismus" 1933 - 1938. The oak leaves might indicate special merits. It is for sure NOT an official order, but maybe some "Badge of Excellence" for merits to clerical fascism in Austria :unsure: .

    Scan #1: The head of the eagle is the traditional symbol of the Austrian Police Forces, but it has not the form of the "Krukenkreuz" of clerical fascism. Maybe an special - non state - award for high merits to the police from about 1919 to 1932 :unsure: .

    Best regards :beer:
