Prussian Red Cross medal 2nd and 3rd class

[laurentius]

Dear fellow collectors,

here I have the Prussian pre-ww1 regulations from 1913 when it comes to medals. I noticed that the Prussian Red Cross medal 2nd class ranks quite a bit higher than the Red Cross medal 3rd class, can anyone give an explanation for this? I will attach the regulations.

Kind regards, Laurentius

Thanks for posting the list, I can't answer your question but this explains the weird sequence on a medal bar I have.
