Hi Kuduae, not to go off topic, but you refer to Friherr being the second lowest rank of nobility. What was the lowest?

Is it possible that the owner of this monogram was not even German?

Quite likely, as the baronial crown looks a bit unusual for a German one in detail. As I wrote, Baden-Baden was populated during the summers by aristocrats and other well to do people from all Europe before WW1. It was called the "Summer capital of Europe" then. Russian nobility even had their own church built there. Nagel & Menz catered to that international clientele.
