Thank you for sharing this with us!!!!
3rd class is may not be entirely true and depends on the date of the award.
From 1886 to 1902 the 3rd class was complete silver without any other materials, not yours.
From 1890 to 1902 there was this type awarded as 3A (its called Unterabteilung A) that means the 3rd Class had 2 Levels during this period.
Later than 1902 there were only one 3rd class with this type.
In Addition, from 1912 there was a 4th class with the appearance of the 3rd class be for it.
This all stands for the older Line, the younger Line only had two classes of crosses.
Greetings from the old capitol of the older Line
