Conogre, these are local Turkish sites. Not international. Export of any kind of antiques from Turkey is strictly forbidden. Even a ww2 or post war dagger or bayonet can simply be thought as a potential antique and held by customs, which means economical catastrophe for the sender to be able to take it back. Just depends on the mood and knowledge of the custom official on duty in mail control. The seller can take a "not antique" document from museum per piece in advance, but would cost a lot of money. So you would hardly be able to find a local seller to mail it abroad.
