    I received my latest Miniatur ordensspange recently (is this the correct term?). I can ID the first two easy enough, but the third one has me stumped. It's referring to a 50th anniversary 1822-1872, and has Saxon ribbon. Can anyone help me with the correct name of this medal please? Something to do with a Prussa/Saxony Union? So

    The medal is something in-official, but I don't know what it referrs to.

    It's unlikely to be Saxon - the ribbon's colors are black, white, red... this is not Saxony but the Reich.

    Yes, I agree. I cannot find a match.

    Thanks again Uwe, so would the red, white and black be a mixture of Prussian and Saxon colours to represent the merging of the two Royal families by way of marriage? Do you have any idea of how this medal might be described in German please?
