Officially, this new ribbon bar of mine qualifies as "been there".
Not much to look at, but I'm hopeful that the Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach White Falcon Knight 1st Class might eventually lead to an identification of this bar. The backing is navy blue, so that might go a long way to pointing towards the service of the original owner - unless there are known examples of non-Navy types sporting that hue. No definate evidence of what the devices on the long service ribbons were, but there are holes for devices in both of those ribbons. On the right LS ribbon, there's a tiny line of fraying that seems to be in about the right place for the wing of a Heer/Kriegsmarine eagle, but that's admittedly stretching a bit.
The number of White Falcons awarded was low enough that I thought I'd throw this one out here in the event that it rang a bell with someone.
