Mr KillKill

I have a WW1 eagle crest off a German helmet, one of those spiked ones, my grandfather souvenired it when he fought at the Somme in the Australian Army and it was eventually passed on to me. I am trying to figure out what the crest represents, it comes in two pieces, a winged eagle made of either brass or copper and on the left wing (the way the head faces) the inscription reads “MIT . GOTT . FUR . KOENIG .” and then on the right side it reads “. UND . VATERLAND . “
The second piece is made of, I’m guessing here, silver, is in the shape of a shining sun with an eagle emblem at the centre and an inscription which reads SUUM CUIQUE.
This second silver piece rests over the breast of the brass/copper eagle. I have looked over the net and have yet to see a crest made up of two pieces, all the ones I have seen lack the second silver piece.
My grandfather was a bit of a fiddler so it may be made up of two pieces that he found but I would be interested in your opinions.
The link below has a few photos to give you an idea what I’m talking about, apologies for the quality but the camera refused to focus properly.

Using http://www.babelfish.altavista.com/tr to translate
MIT . GOTT . FUR . KOENIG. UND . VATERLAND
I got
WITH. GOD. FUR. KING. AND. NATIVE COUNTRY

But it couldn’t translateSUUM CUIQUE I’m guessing it might be Latin?
