From Baden, he received a Zähringer Lion order Grand Cross with swords (BZ1X) in early 1916!

 

I'd guess this wasn't all he received during the war, besides the Iron Crosses you already have?

 

Daniel's newly published list adds swords to his RAO2E in 1916 and the star to that in 1917...

That's great, thank you! By the way, many thanks for Daniel's great list ... what absolutely great work! I finally found him, although written Loringhofen.
