Knigth's Cross of the Zähringer Lion, 2nd Class

Hi,

According to my understanding, this is an authentic example of the Zähringer Lion, 2nd Class, and also I believe it to predate WW1. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Determining whether this medal predates the 1914-1918 period (although it is highly probable, seeing the other medal in the ordernsspange) is beyond my scope, but I have to say that it is simply magnificent and I love how well the colors of the medal ribbon match with those of the ribbon of the Medal of the 50th Anniversary of the Reign of Grand Duke Friedrich 1852-1902.

Nice bar, which I would date to around 1910.

@VtwinVince, Thank you for that information! Do you also agree with my assessment that it is indeed an authentic piece?
