Anybody catch this episode last week?
Pawn Stars is a popular reality TV show which is based on a pawn shop located in Las Vegas Nevada. They feature many different items ordinary people bring in to sell or pawn. These items are then appraised by outside experts called in by the show for authenticity, afterwords they negotiate a deal on the item. Last week they featured a Moro Kris. Looked beat. Blade looked real but in not so good shape(looked grinded down and polished, and was already rusting). The handle was obviously not original...it was dated 1901 but had what looked like a cheaply carved serpent head. ![]() ![]() |

I'm with Rick. Love the show - missed the episode.
OO, OO, but it is on the History Channel tonight as a repeat at 8:00 pm! ![]() Last edited by Battara; 28th June 2010 at 11:38 PM. |

I happen to know Sean. He's based out of the San Diego region (the History Channel flies him in for the show and puts him up on in a hotel for a week while they line up a bunch of "visits"). He has a ridiculous collection of European arms and armor (the finest privately-owned pieces I've ever seen are his, and they have a price tag to match!), and does a brisk business. He supplied Disney with the edged weps for the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise (which were all real, BTW)... But IMO, he undervalues ethnographic weapons.

Which one is Sean? Are you saying the show is rigged?
