Juden Stern/Jew star

[Datrus]

We have a "Jewish Star" uo for sale in the Classifieds section. Is it forum policy to sell such items here. To me it's not a war item. Camps and jewish policy does not really have much to do with the war. IMHO

JUDE star of David in mint condition - Militaria Collectibles buy - sell at War Relics

Well the item sure is related to wwII, and a historical item. What exactly is your question? I would love to have the item in my collection; it is unworn so there are no ethical dilemmas.

[Wagriff]

It doesn't look genuine to me anyway, in any case....and the price is extremely high for what it is.

If you do not get my question Feurbach, then i will happily repeat it. Is it forum policy to put these items up for sale? Yes the KZ lager/camps was present during WW2 but has little or nothing to do with the battles and heroic deeds that played out on both Axis and Allied sides. I think we should let Gotlieb and the others sell this stuff.

Well let's open this up to the forum for discussion. Please bear in mind we're discussing the authenticity of the item here, not the rights or wrongs of selling it on the forum.

Let's establish the facts of the piece first.

Not sure where this one should go so if I move it to the wrong forum, the Mod is obviously welcome to move it on again.

Jewish stars should be in museums and survivor's hands. Not in collections. You shouldn't collect death.

I completely stay away from the Holocaust.

[Datrus]

Authenticity i can't tell at all.

[Datrus]

My point with starting this thread was to discuss if it is within this forums policies to have such items up for sale. Real or not.

Not something I would buy and therefore not something I have researched, though I know they are heavily faked.

[Wagriff]

These printed stars with the broken line outline and no backing have been around since the early 60's...if not even earlier. I would not consider it authentic....
