Moro Kris on Pawn Stars TV show
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. The expert quickly pointed that out. In the end, it went for a measly $100. The seller was happy...he said his mother picked it up at a Church sale for $5. Either way, pretty cool to see a Moro Kris on a popular TV show. |
