    It's very nice, but not in the right category. It's listed in the WW1 category, but it's a Hungarian Order of Merit (not Austro-Hungarian), and wasn't instituted until 1922.

    This may have something to do with Ebay's ridiculous categories. If you list something under "Militaria" on Ebay as a U.S. Seller, you are presented with a menu of choices for which conflict your item belongs to, with entries such as "Civil War" and "Spanish-American War". That's completely useless if the item you're selling is - for example - German, from the Franco-Prussian War. Since this example is without swords, maybe it shouldn't be listed under militaria at all, but under "coins - exonumia." But on Ebay, it doesn't seem to matter much.

      What is worse is eBay's idiotic way of deciding what is banned from view. Apparently, the same seller has a Golden Fleece copy which I am informed is restricted from view in my country. Dumba$$es! Craig Gottlieb put up a Hungarian order recently, and I got the same message.
