Lloyd,
That auction site is eBay Germany. Not sure, but I believe it's legal to sell a MoH there.

Yeah Denny, except that ebay is an American company just as Yahoo is and remember Yahoo was sued by France over "hateful symbols".

Lloyd

EBAY SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR THIS SALE,,,,GRRRRR,,,,

You sure have that right!

Lloyd

hello, sorry folks I'm pretty new at this and I don't mean to bother, but I was just wondering if someone could explain why exactly is it illegal to sell the MoH?

Here is the pertinent information:
"Title 18, United States Code, Section 704 prohibits the unauthorized wearing, manufacturing or selling of all military awards. Violators of this statute face a fine of up to $100,000 and or imprisoned up to one year."

And to contact the FBI"

Hi guys.

What makes everyone so sure this is a real Medal of Honor.

This very well could be one of the replicas made years ago before the practice was outlawed.

Also, did it really sell for only 1,000 Euro?

I understand that the text states the medal cannot be sold in the United States or to a resident of the United States. I don't personally read German but on another site, a Feebay site even, this statement was made.

Jim, I think it would be impossible to answer your questions unless the medal were examined and the buyer swore that he purchased it for the stated sum. Too hypothetical for me!
