The Badge of Honor was awarded in 3 classes. All other things being equal, in the form of the Lippa rose, the individual classes are distinguished as follows: the 1st class has an open silver crown on top, attached by means of a hinge, a small ring passes through the imperial apple of the crown, and an elongated ribbon ring passes through it. Class 2 has 3-leaf oak foliage suspended in a small ear. The ring of the tape is soldered behind. 3rd grade has on top of crossed petioles a soldered ordinary ear with a ribbon ring. The design of the Lipp rose was made by the sculptor A. Schreitmüller from Dresden. Manufacturers from 1899 to 1914 were the mint of Richard Diller in Dresden and from 1917 the court jeweler K. F. Zimmerman in Pforzheim. Shown here 2. It was awarded only 43 times between 1901 and 1918.
