Somewhat confused by your post. I understand that Rifleman Pun's medals have been in the Gurkha Museum at Winchester since 2003. Whether they were donated by him or purchased by the museum is of no relevance to the above Act as the offence only occurs if an attempt is made to induce someone to sell their medals while they are still serving. On many occasions over the years I had to check very carefully that the guy offering to sell me his South Atlantic Medal, for example, was not still serving, as I certainly didn't want to shell out several hundred pounds for a medal only to see the SIB walk in and confiscate it the next day (as has happened to less careful or more unscrupulous dealers).
