Thank you for that. I had bought some of Geoff Lewis's possessions in an auction when he first moved to Spain, and had only recently got them out of the garage.

I have the runner ups commemorative silver plate from that 1973 Deutches Derby, but the only thing written on it is Hamburg Horn 1973, die zwetten (the second). Nice to see the unexplained reason Geoff would of had it. Thanks again.

Thanks.
Nice to know the background to your post
German e-bay might be the place for that.
And I found a useful website.

In 2014 he moved back to Cranleigh, to be near his daughter in Ewhurst.

Turns out the plate is solid silver and made by a very old German silversmiths, Wilkens.

On the subject of Geoff Lewis, I knew Ron Berry quite well. Ron was at Walter Nightingales at the same time as Geoff (they were extremely good friends) and was considered first choice jockey. An American owner at Nightingales saw a big future for Ron in America and persuaded him to leave his position in Epsom and emigrate to the States. The moment Ron landed he became homesick, he came from a large Dorking family, and realised he had made a mistake, and within weeks returned to England.

Walter Nightingale never forgave Ron for his disloyalty and refused to take him back as first choice over Geoff and the rest is history. Later Ron became a carpenter( that's how we met) and when Lewis got his own yard he gave as much work to Ron for 'old times sake' as he could. The odd winner came as well.

Ronnies son (cannot remember his name) became an apprentice at Geoffs and struck up a good relationship with a horse and they got a run of wins together. Weight problems and lack of dedication ended his time as a jockey.
