looking for info on imperial era medals

#1

I have some imperial germany militaria that has been in my family since ww2. I am hoping someone will be able to give me some more information on them.

I am aware one is the order of the black eagle. Not sure if that is rare or not though?

The one with 1914-1918 i can not identify. It has what appears to be germany slaying the french eagle with a sword and preparing to face russia (the bear) and the uk (the lion)

The other medal appears to a first place shooting prize from 1910.

They appear to all be on a belt, with some other items possibly pips?

Essentially I have some basic knowledge but am hoping to get some more. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Check out the Wehrmacht Awards forum. They have a very active Imperial subforum.
