A small addition

Please note the addition of another WWI Iron Cross Second Class to my collection.
Thanks.
P.S. I also have a question...As we here on the forum often buy, sell, and trade from within our own group on the estand, would not some of our iron cross numbers be inflated? For instance, this most recent one that I bought came from the estand, I have just asked that it be added to the total figures, but suppose the forum member from whom I bought it had already listed it from among his collection, then this particular cross would be featured twice in the numbers.

Please dont get me wrong, I do not criticize in any way. I think that this is a wonderful thread and am fascinated by the numbers (which I believe to be an overall accurate depiction of how many crosses we collectively hold). I was just wondering if anyone else had contemplated this duplication.

[Blitz]

Hmmm. YOu got a point there, Chris. And it's fact that my numbers aren't a 100 % accurate, but as you said they are, in overall, accurate. Some members who have selled or lost EKs have reported it to me, but perhaps not always and when "loosing" it to another member. I just have to rely on the members to keep me posted, as you prolly are aware Btw, i think ill add your EK to the stats. The member who sold it prolly would have said something if he had allready given his numbers. "prolly"..

PLM's

It would be interesting to know how many PLM's are owned by
members.
