    And the collar tabs (I think that's how they are called), I don't think they are from WW2, they look too new.

    There are two pairs of these:

    I don’t know how old your patches are but they look like German Army collar tabs from WWII. The patches in this link look the same to me https://www.epicmilitaria.com/german-army-officer-collar-tabs-infantry.html

    Though modern German collar tabs on dress uniform look similar.

    As for the medal I can’t find anything. It looks like an old tractor with a gear around it. I searched it multiple ways and can’t find anything.

    I just noticed the animal head too.

    The tabs appear to be correct for WWII style, but is possible they are reproductions. do you have access to a blacklight? A quick, basic test is to see if any parts of the tabs glow under blacklight in the way most modern fabrics do. Its not a definitive answer as some items can still be reproductions made with old materials or very high quality reproductions, but it can be a great place to start. Be sure to flex them where possible to expose any interior stitching to the blacklight to test.
