West point would not sell anything from the museum. This is not that type of museum.

I smell a scam.
It's amazing what you can do with a toilet roll tube, a couple of brass doorknobs and some glitter you know......

Unfortunately, museums here in America will often sell items if they don't fit within their scope or if they're doubles of items they already have in the collection. It's unfortunate and not very respectable to sell donated items, in my opinion, but it happens often. I'm not sure if the same is true of Europe or other places, but it's probably universal.
That said, I don't think that the Reichsmarschall's baton is going anywhere!
Thanks Ned..just burst my bubble....now I know where Sorcerers and Warlocks get their magic staffs from.

Somehow, I doubt that West Point is "negotiating" with anyone to sell off Goering's Baton.....

"Much that once was, is lost. For none now live who remember it."
In the 1950's, the baton was stolen. The not too bright thief advertised it for sale in the ad section of a national men's magazine. I recall reading the ad at the time. Not a bright fellow so you can guess the rest.
