Gentlemen,

 just have to ask.

I am going on the assumption that the White Falcon award is represented by the (solid) red ribbon which is located just forward of what has been identified as a Hamburger Hanseatenkreuz. Since I think that it is safe to say that our recipient was a Bavarian, is it not possible that the red ribbon might represent a Bavarian Prinzregent Luitpold medal?

Just wondering,

I am going to try to repost my previous comment which, for some reason came through blacked out.

It very well could be. The order of precedence is not what I would expect so a red ribbon could even be something Austrian as he has a couple “southern” awards.

Looks like it’s on eBay with some fresh paint on the EKs.

Hi,

definitely not my example. I got mine last year from eBay and remember that a couple month later the same buttonhole miniature was offered again. At first I thought, that someone was using the eBay photos of my example, but there are small differences. i think there are 2 buttonhole minitarures with this combination out there.

      Sounds great other than the Orange & Mango squash only because I prefer cran-pomegranate juice.

      "(...) disgusting herbal concoction (...)" I took note of this description, to enrich my otherwise limited, English "Wortschatz"...

      At work the standard indian tea such as PG tips is referred to as chimp tea. This goes back to the days when we had a Spanish girl working for us whose command of the English language was extremely limited. One lunch she said she was going to the shop could she get anything. I asked if she could get a pack of tea bags. She returned with some disgusting herbal concoction. I tried to explain what was required but without success. I then remembered PG tips had a picture of a chimpanzee on the packe

      When I read Lapsang Souchong i decided to post something about these Tea . Many years ago I dont  know about Lapsang until I read James Michener book Centennial and the description of the savour of the Lapasang as a mix of tar and salt & smoked made me proof . It was exact ! and i liked it since then .

      I have been known to drink Lapsang Souchong and Tea, Earl Grey, Hot... both "without pollutants". I normally have one mug of coffee in the morning, then spend the rest of the day drinking Orange & Mango squash (by the pint). Then evening comes and it's a pint, followed by red wine with dinner and sometimes a drop of Laphroaig afterwards.
