Nice to see you profiling some militaria. You’re right on the cockades bottom one looks like a repro, top one might be ok but need better pictures. If real let’s say $40. The stick pin is about $5 and is for the Hindenburg cross extremely common. Tinnies about $10. Never seen the second tinnie before I doubt it’s valuable.Luftwaffe patch is for technical aviation personnel maybe 30-40$. However it looks quite new so be careful. The US and Marine clasps you’re pricing too high maybe $20 each. The toy soldiers are nice but you need a professional opinion on those if real they could be money. The M1 had been heavily ‘renovated.’ However nice display piece at $150. The uniform looks Canadian and pre-WW1. The bugle denotes a light infantry brass musician or I’ve seen this similar insignia for the New Zealand volunteers and the Bombay Volunteer rifles. The shoulder boards might match the purpose of the tunic as a musician but they do look like costume pieces so maybe someone added them later. So you may have a mixed tunic here that has been played with. Definitely a mystery. I think you need to post close ups of the buttons. As is, probably about $100. Contact Waterloo Militaria they will know everything about it.

@@justinbradfield1489 thanks for the information, you’re very knowledgeable! I found out from somebody that the SS figurine is not original, but apparently people still pay good money for customs. The other is original but someone added an SS flag. Thanks so much, that sounds about right for the uniform, I think I could get a little more because it used to be a costume and it’s named to Rex Lease. I’ll have to check them out! Thinking about selling the uniform to IMA, I see that in the past they have sold some similar ones for around 500 that were also Hollywood costumes at some point. Appreciate you watching. 🙏
