    Bavarian Lapel Bow Interpretation

    Just wanted to get a second opinion on my reading of the ribbons in this lapel bow:

    1. Bavarian Order of St. Michael 3rd or 4th Class
    2. Bavarian King Ludwig Cross
    3. Bavaria - Some sort of Jubilee medal, the name of which escapes me
    4. Hesse-Darmstadt - Order or Cross of Phillip the Magnanimous
    5. Saxe-Weimar - Order of the White Falcon
    6. Saxe-Ernestine House Order
    7. Württemberg Friedrichs Order or Prussian Crown Order

    3. medal of the golden wedding 1918 bavarian crown prince couple

    4. faithful service cross for 40 years worked as an official (so called ass sitting cross)

    1.) maybe the silver merit medal of the st. michael quis ut deus - who is like god

    one of my favorite medals.

    regards jo

      Thanks for the help in spotting that one. It is a perfect match in terms of color.

      That would then allow for #5 to logically be the Prinzregent Luitpold-Medaille which makes a heck of a lot more sense than a White Falcon.

      So which grade(s) of the St. Michael would that ribbon be appropriate for? I haven't really gotten a handle on which ribbon corresponds to which grade of the decoration.

        I was just thinking that as I was reading the first post. Very nice lapel bow by the way.

        Kind regards

          which grade - it could be all.

          the jubiläumsmedaille 1905 - mostly the bronce one - but may be the silvered one, too.

            Ribbon #1 is a Michael order 3rd or 4th class with or without crown, or - if awarded pre-1887 (unlikely!) a knight's cross 1st or 2nd class.

            It cannot be a merit cross or a merit medal of this order, as they had different ribbons! Well, unless the tailor used the wrong one...


            Ribbon #5 is probably a Prinzregent Luitpold medal, not the 1905 military jubilee medal. Only the PLM was awarded on the plain red ribbon. Could be bronze or silver, with or without crown - no idea how to tell apart.
