WWII Purple Heart with Original Case

I have a very expired internal German passport that's going live tomorrow. Thankfully it's OK according to German law, since it's 30 years old and the guy who owned it was born in the 1890s and is long dead. We will however see....

 

Born before the end of WW2 for Colonial Indonesia?

 

Okay cool man Thanks. Next time it happens will do it, already sold though.

 

They also don't allow the sale of bank notes from Cuba, Iran, Syrian or north korea.

 

Not sure why, they suck sometimes. Sometimes I feel like destroying their website, filling it with malware, trojan horse, etc. And their fees are getting crazy stupid.

 

No need; the more they mess with sellers the closer they get to nuking their own system.

 

Just a month before WW2 started in Indonesia, 1942. War didn't really end in Indonesia, the Japanese occupation was immediately followed by the Indonesian war of independence, which was no picknick either.

 

I searched Ebay completeds...some do make it thru to be sold. Some do not say purple heart in the title, some do. Most look to be BIN

 

List it as an "Orchid military Heart that looks Purple"

 

eBay is responding to the Stolen Valor Act of 2013. They can't control whether someone passes it off as their own, so they choose to ban the sale. As the daughter, sister and wife of military veterans, I have to agree that it's a problem, but as someone stated, if there are no remaining family members, either the military has to have a program whereby they can be returned or else someone is going to buy them for collections. Banning the sale isn't going to stop Stolen Valor from happening, and there have been a couple of blatant examples lately. I love it when some real veteran comes upon one of these jerks in a public place and humiliates them.

There is also the law in the US banning most ivory sales as an attempt at reining in the illegal ivory trade to stop killing elephants. For awhile, you could still sell antique ivory but even that is getting more difficult and it doesn't seem to stop poachers.

As far as other items, if you post a photo of a gun, even a palm sized, antique, toy cap gun without an orange plug in the end, they will pull it if someone turns you in. In fact, if you put covert language in your listing in order to fool the bots (robots) that pick up terminology, you can still get busted if a competitor or troll searches listings and busts you. I had a 1940s Air Raid Warden badge that didn't even look like a Police badge, but in small letters on the bottom of the badge it said "Issued by the Police Dept. of the City of Boston." Not only was it pulled, but when I wrote to question it I got pink-slapped - told to cease and desist or I'd get an enforced "vacation" and banned for a period of time
