saschaw Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) On 11/11/2021 at 23:48, Deutschritter said: Orden vom Zähringer Löwen, Ritterkreuz I. Klasse (BZL3a⚔/BZ3a⚔) According to the 1892 Hof- und Staats-Handbuch des Großherzogthums Baden, p. 167, Freiherr von Falkenhausen received the Ritterkreuz I. Klasse mit Schwertern (sic) in 1874. Under the revised 1879 statutes, he did not have to return this cross for a higher grade without swords, and thus it's still listed in the later rank list, alongside his peace time 1st class commander set.
