Badischer Kriegerbund Ehrenkreuz

As long as I'm loafing about instead of prowling about for delectable Imperial stuff on the streets and alleys of Seattle I might as well post this one as well. Can anyone outline the levels of this vet's badge? I have seen plain. 30, and 50 year examples. Are there any more?
Shouldn't there be a 15 year version?
Here is a cased 50 year award:

Better not let Mike Dunn see that, he might have to offer you one of his children for it. he really like the Veteran's stuff. These badges are great items, I am surprised at the laisez-faire attitude about them. ( a little Frainch lingo for our friend Francois )

Looks like a repro out of India! They use these for the Cobra races-I would sell it if I were you! Nice! Mike

Don't know for sure the years associated with the two lower ones, but supposedly there was an "Ehrenzeichen 1. Klasse," "Ehrenzeichen 2. Klasse," and "Ehrenzeichen für 50 Jahre." The classes are more like steps, so the "1. Klasse" is the plain one, which leaves the "30" as the "2. Klasse."
