[QUOTE="Charlotte, post: 44467, member: 441"]Here is a link to ebay's restrictions regarding Police items. [URL]http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/police.html[/URL] I recall, now, that I had to do quite a bit of research about badges to make sure I met the criteria they required. Obsolete seem to be the correct terminology, if it meets the below requirements. This is what they mention in that link: US historical badges that meet [B]both[/B] of these requirements: The listing description clearly says that the badge is a historical piece that's at least 75 years old or was issued by an organization that no longer exists. The item doesn't look like a current-issue law enforcement badge (for example, an antique sheriff's badge from 19th century Tombstone). If we have reason to believe that the item looks like a current- issue badge, we may remove the listing for public safety reasons. Google "Vintage Police Badges" and there are some informational sites.[/QUOTE]
