You are not allowed to sell this... in the United States. American auctions happily sell military medals from other countries. And Nobel prizes, and Olympic medals. I don't see how they can stop this guy's auction in Germany from selling it. And indeed they didn't.
Bernhard Pacher, the managing director of Hermann Historica, noted the law doesn’t apply to him since he is not in the U.S.
“There’s nothing morally bad in selling a medal, even if it’s pointed out to me that it’s illegal in the U.S., because I’m not in the U.S.,” Pacher told Stars and Stripes.
“In general, there’s way less emotion here towards objects of historical value than there is in the United States,” he said.
