Guest Rick Research Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 The reverse, "Dem Verdienste" was used between 1828 and 1871 for non-Saxons. Saxon natives had "F?r Verdienste und Treue," which became the only reverse from 1871 to 1918.The ribbon stripes got lighter in the 20th century.

Guest Rick Research Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I wasn't measuring them... I was wiping sweat off my paws (90?F/33?C) and scanning, scanning, scanning. According to Weber, Arnol;d, & Keil, from 1828 to 1870 there were 87 of these awarded--and this is definitely from the late period (1849+) of which there were only 17 of that total!!!!!!! :speechless1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
