SS Fordende Mittglieder lapel pin - German
This is the 'contributing members' pin awarded to financial supporters of the SS. The translation of the German is: 'Thanks of the SS for loyalty // help in the time of struggle'. It is nicely stamped with RZM and some issue numbers on the reverse, as well as 'GES.GESCH.' (for patent pending).

Danzig Air Raid Police lapel pin - German
One of the rarer Third Reich lapel pins (23 mm diameter), these were given to the civilians who operated as air wardens in Danzig (the present day port of Gdansk in Poland, which, in the 1930s, was a free port and an autonomous entity surrounded by Polish soil). They have the emblem of Danzig at the base of the badge on the white circlet.

SS day badge, Munich, 1933 - German
This badge, of which the most common fake is in aluminium, is actually die-struck tombak with a heavy silver plate finish. It may commemorate the swearing in of the Leibstandarte in Munich in the winter of 1933. I'm not absolutely sure about this and would welcome any comments.
