    hi can someone please confirm what these badges or manythanks any info greatly appreciated

    The top badge is a First Class example ( hard to say which, they came in silver and gold, but as this appears to have lost its finish, it could have been either) of the Bravery Badge of the Ostvolk. It comes with Swords like yours for "Bravery" and without Swords for "Merit"

    The lower one is the campaign shield for the Crimea. These came with either pins soldered to the back or, like yours, with lugs on the side. This one is in pretty poor condition. It would have started off with a very attractive bronze finish. Try checking it with a magnet as most originals were from tinplate. They are very heavily faked though. Difficult to say from your photo, but from its condition it looks like it could be a genuine magnetic one, just in very poor condition.
