Misc Bits for ID

[Brig]

Here are a few bits and bobs I've picked up over the years. Can anyone help me ID them?

 

The cloth shield was picked up over 15 years ago with an assortment of WWII original and repro German insignias.

The cloth shield reminds me on some student fraternity or "German society" insignia I have seen.

The "T" rank is a US Army Technician 3rd class sweetheart pin.

The enamel chevron I believe was used by the US army pre-ww2

I thought the first metal enlisted rank in the US was used by the Marine Corps in the 50s. For some reason I was thinking this might be Canadian, might have gotten it with some Canadian trinkets but can't recall, it's been years

I believe they experimented with metal rank insignia in the early 1900s.

The three wheat stalk things look like some RAD insignia piece

I believe there are metal sweetheart pins of enlisted rank chevrons from WWII. Seems to me I used to have one even. During WWII, the Americans had sweetheart jewelry of almost anything!
