Does anyone know anything about Saxon Maria-Anna Cross or Order? (Especially what the ribbon might have looked like.)

Look here:

The ribbon is light blue with white borders.
There is a picture in the Waldorf-Album "Orden".

Does this shade of blue look at all correct?
...also, do you know if this was an award ever awarded to men? What little (very little, really) I have found shows it as a order for women.

The blue is correct. IMO was it awarded only by women.

Here's the ribbon in context:
I have two identical bars acquired from different sources, with that same ribbon on it. The second photo is a little washed out, the colors are the same on both bars when viewed side by side.

Wrong Order..........
Your ribbon is not for the Saxon order! The Saxon ribbon is pale blue, with 2 equal white stripes, with pale blue edges! Your ribbon is blue with white stripes/edges..........Comment

Here's the ribbon........
........ for the Saxon Order..... not the same, and doubtful "close-enough" as your bar(s) is/are to a Beamter....Last edited by stogieman; 05-04-2005, 01:56 PM.Comment

Actually looking at the ribbon, I see your point. I've posted my "what the heck is this?" post in a few different places. Someone responded back with that Saxon decoration as a possibility, without being able to provide a photo of anything other than the decoration sans ribbon.Originally posted by stogieman
Given the difference in ribbons, I think it's safe to check that one off the list of possibilities - all other factors aside.
Thanks,
