Pawn Stars: SUPER RARE Illegal Items

It sounds like something they wouldn't want, like the media to know. Do you have doubts about them? They are

rare

? Is it legal to own? Prize for owning this. Do you have documents that say you can have this? I said you know. this is not a desk this is a gun i have never seen a desk as a gun this lady is looking to sell a very unusual gun it is a desk but it is not actually a desk it is actually a gun when you push down on the ink tank one bullet shoots through the rag I have no idea how much it's worth I'm just really curious if I sell it it's okay if I don't I'm okay with that too I bought it at an estate sale I was just looking for a nice little desk to put a guest book, I took a good look inside and said, you know, this is not a desk, this is a gun, I've never seen a desk as a gun, I just don't get it, I mean, you're not really.

I'll stop anyone if you shoot them in the thigh with a little .22 like that, the bullet's not going to come out with much power. I had never seen one before. I only buy guns made in 1898 and the problem goes back. What I have here is that I don't know the date this was done. Rick is amazed but he needs expert help. I really want this desk. It's one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life. Where is the gun? This is the gun. what to press there is the trigger, have you ever seen one, have never seen this, what is the practical application, that's what goes through my head, I don't see one, I have never seen anything like this, it could have even just been a Unique or maybe a movie prop I don't know how old this thing is the barrel is very small but it has an open end it could fire a projectile the expert has some news for this customer and what to do is to have a gun but now you have a concealed weapon because it is a concealed weapon any type of markings on the firing mechanism there was the beginning of a patent number it said patent one appears to be between approximately 1890 and 1910 it is not worth the risk I have to take it to a gunsmith and ask them to professionally disable the mechanism.

I would love to do it. So that's what I'll do. I wish I could help you more. It's just one of those things. Thanks for bringing it. Oh you. Well, you're a cold war item. Rick is surprised. This is known as an inf

rare

d heat seeker for Sidewinder missiles. I'm going to the

pawn

shop to sell my infrared heat seekers, but there are plenty of collectors who would love to have one. uh no, we've never had a guidance system for a missile that we used to guide the side Winder missiles, so where did you get this from?

Well my dad used to bid on military surplus back in the 70's and 80's, he bid on 400 empty shipping containers. Of them he won the sealed bid for $25 as he loaded them onto the truck he noticed some were heavy and These were inside. Do you have documentation from the Department of Defense that says you can own this thing? Yes, and this is all from the Department of the Navy. It seems like it's cool to go in 1964 this was so high tech it was amazing is this what she says it is or is it legal to buy it what the hell are you going to do with it?

I mean, is it worth any money? I mean, let me. go call someone. I know what's happening. Great, the expert was amazed. I am a US Marine Corps FA8 pilot with 17 years of experience. This is a very interesting article. I'm really surprised you own this. I have documents that say you can have this. Actually, it is a heat seeking head. It's very rare to have that outside of a military base, much less in a

pawn

shop in Las Vegas. This article is basically the top foot and a half of a 9 foot heat seeker. The uh missile probably came out in the early 1960s, this was a leading technology, it has some more incredible news, but also some bad news, back in the 1960s, actually this missile was compromised a year later, the communists had the exact same missile, hence the advantage we initially had in Vietnam.

He disappeared in the late 1960s, so you're not like a Russian spy or anything. You are in good shape on scales of 1 to 10. A fighter pilot. I'd give it about a nine. Rick enters into negotiations and makes the best of them. the deal really has no commercial value, nothing. I'll be honest with you, thanks man, you bet, I appreciate you coming out nice to see you, so how much were we looking to get out of this? About $3,000, no, I'm thinking $500, no. I think this is worth more money $750 out of the question 750 is out of the question I'll buy it for 550 dollars, okay, we have more, I'll take it for 50, okay, even if I don't sell it, I'm just as happy.

By having it on my shelf, we have a customer with a mass destruction item. I think I have the deadliest item that has ever walked through your door. What is it? It is a launch key for a Russian intercontinental ballistic missile. Seriously, I would launch a thermal nuclear weapon. I usually describe them as the keys to the end of the world as we know it, how much do you want for them, around 10,000? My concern is how simple they look. I could make them in my garage out of aluminum, so I called my friend Mark. To authenticate it, Rick has his friend Mark come in and take a look.

They are beautiful. They are the key to launch. Have you ever worked with titanium? If you made this with titanium, you have a bigger garage than anyone else. I know a lot of people. I tend to think they were used for ICBMs and nuclear missiles and that sort of thing, but no, they were used to launch spaceships, so they're probably still a pretty rare item, yeah, they're rare because there were a lot more missile keys. intercontinental ballistic missiles. Rick still wants the

items

, so they get into a bargaining war with the customer now that I know what these things really are.

I gotta admit I love them, you know, I'd give you like $1,500 for 1,500, uh, okay, I'll stay. okay thank you thank you next we have a customer with a unique war item. Today I went to the pawn shop to try to sell my WWII grenade. I really have no idea how much it's worth, it's

super

rare, so I hope it's worth it. Well, there's nothing explosive inside, so what do you know? It was manufactured by the OSS or CIA 60 years ago. Well, you have a lot of balls to buy a grenade and then dismantle it. I've never seen a design like this, all I know is that ekc means the Eastman Kodak company let me call him Tony at the gun store until they review it.

I have no idea how much it is worth. Rick needs help, so he calls Tony. a grenade that was made for the OSS was the precursor to the CIA this would normally be filled with TNT this is screwed on like this and then this goes in like this 43 people were injured during the tests three people died how much did you pay $5? You did very well, so I have some gas money on the way, you have, you have money for the car, it turns out that Rick has something, a unique item on his hands, the last time I saw one of these for sale was in 2007 and it sold for over $2,000 thanks for coming Tony I appreciate it this thing is beyond cool and I definitely want that damn thing so how much do you want for it?

Well, I'm thinking 16 now you can do it, okay, let's go good. sounds good excited I bought this grenade it was a big B there's nothing cooler than these forged documents confiscated during World War II are brought to the store by a lady these are forged documents that were confiscated from a Nazi spy during World War II my grandfather He was a great collector of World War II. I hope to make about $8,000, believe it or not, we didn't have a real Espionage Service before World War II. Franklin Delanor Roosevelt created the oss, the office of Strategic Services, I believe.

This is like possibly forged documents from the Germans. How much did you want for these? I was expecting 8,000. I gave you 4,000 for them. Cory recommends Rick call an expert, but Rick negotiates the price. How do you know the fake is real? False things. I bought this. Would you accept 4,000 for it? I bought six. I would pay you 5,000 for it. Sounds good, thanks. In fact, I know some from above. I made some phone calls. Now I'm going to an undisclosed location, hopefully. You can give me good news. This is going to be really cool and a little scary.

Are you Rick? I'm Rick, welcome to the CIA. I have some documents that I believe are associated with the OSS. I'd love for you to take a look at it. They, these are them, I think they are counterfeit IDs and I think some of the things were forged by the Germans, maybe the Americans were working on things, so can you authenticate these things? They look very real, but as a government official I cannot authenticate them. artifacts, the head of the OSS research and development program created a scrapbook highlighting the best imitation

items

that the OSS made, the director of the CIA Museum opens a book to compare the documents, all similar to here, he has a registration certificate, so these are the kind of pocket junk, as they call it, that you would like to have so that it looks like you really belong there, that kind of person was going to be very valuable to someone who was going to go abroad and be able to make these secrets. missions, so at this point I'm pretty sure this was fake footage from the bad guys.

This customer has some scrolls that detail the career of a soldier and everything he accomplished during his military service. These are eight different scrolls signed by different presidents later. a soldier's career from second lieutenant to brigadier general okay we have lieutenant kle under Theodore Roosevelt along with William ta as Secretary of War R take a closer look at the documents who was this guy uh this was a second lieutenant by Lorenzo w Cook in 1866 you just have a lot of paperwork here, this is an excellent Chester A Arthur 1883. It seems the guy rose quite a bit through the military ranks to reach the position of General, it's quite rare, which makes for quite a story interesting and can be a great selling point for collectors, so how much do you want for this stuff?

I was thinking 10 to 12 12,000, do you mind if I ask someone to look at everything? Rick calls in an expert, which of these signatures are real and which ones aren't many. these were signed by secretaries when I look at the uh Roosevelt Theo Johnson, the main thing I'm looking for here is how the characters are formed, especially if it's a secretary signature, the characters will be similar to the original but not exactly the same. These signatures are not real. Andrew Johnson Johnson notoriously injured his hand a couple of months into being president and started using an expert who checks to see if they are real.

If you look very closely, you can see the way the ink adheres. The paper, so this here is sealed. The good news is that everyone else is really great. How much do you think they are worth if you have them as a group? Tells a story. Grand is worth a thousand on his own, Teddy Roosevelt. It's worth around 750 on its own, together with you, you can expect up to $110,000, okay, thanks girl, you're the best. I'll give you 5 grand, about 65, how about 5 grand? 62 if you want the 5 grand, I have 5 grand total. right A customer of C enters the store to sell a historical document from a man who helped develop the atomic bomb.

Historical document of a gentleman who helped develop the atomic bomb. The certificate receives recognition for his essential work in the production of the atomic bomb. Loopsy worked with magnetism and some amplifications he was a really brilliant scientist Rick ask for an offer of how much you offer it um I would like to receive $1,100 for it's really cool like I said historical certificate but I'll give you 100 dollars for it. Be willing to accept a thousand dollars because that's not going to happen. What is the most you can give? 100 dollars. I understand. I appreciate it. Have a good man.

Alright. Thank you. A lady brings some old documents from the Pentagon. I have old Pentagon documents. Pentagon from 1972 to early 1973 you weren't a spy or anything, you weren't at all where did you get them at a garage sale what are they? I don't know much about them there is all kinds of information about Vietnam there is information about the Olympics, this is International Affairs of the USSR, the developments in Vietnam sound like things they wouldn't want the media to know about if you look on almost every page , uh, Lieutenant Colonel Morgan is written on every page, who do we think they are given to, they are not supposed to. take volumes of paper from the Pentagon and bring them home.

I mean, I don't know if they're allowed to have them. Let me call someone here and find out what the deal is. Rick decides to call an expert to summarize what's in What concerns do you have about them? They are rare? Is it legal to own them? Well, in fact, they are from the daily Court. Its purpose was to let interested people inside the Pentagon know what was being said in foreign markets. What is interesting here? This is the copy from the Psychological Operations Division. The person who was receiving this was Doc, the deputy director of operations ofcounterinsurgency and special affairs.

It is openly available today. Yes, they are legal, so they are not, but you know they are. It's not the kind of thing that many people would collect. It's not uncommon that you can go to the library and search and read everything on every single page. They are not rare, they are not collectible and it is all public knowledge. I don't want to make an offer for him. I just don't see any money here. Thank you so much. Have a good day. Rick is the first to see this document of a kidnapping case. I have some papers and documents from The Lindberg kidnapping case was the crime of the century.

You're the first to see this since the early 1940s. It's the baby photo. The photo of the ransom note. Where did you get these from? These were inherited from my grandmother. I reversed some details. about how the kidnapping was carried out are shared by Rick and the client. They ended up finding the baby's body. The kidnapper took the child. He killed the child immediately or when he was going down the stairs, he dropped the child. The kidnappers wanted $50,000, and although it was paid, there was no sign of Lindberg's baby, Bruno H. They traced the money to him.

They found some of the ransom money in his house. Term. get the death penalty for it most criminals are pretty stupid Beyond the records this guy seems to have real evidence from the case itself there are original ransom notes and real nails from the Hopman house let me someone look at all of them these things Rick seeks help with. An expert, is it real? From what I'm seeing here, it seems to me that these are all legitimately Leon Hoy documents, huh, but is this something collectible? There would certainly be researchers who would love this kind of thing.

Thanks, how much did you want? I have no idea for once in my life I'm overwhelmed with something I'd give you $11,000 and I'm just taking a full picture in the dark Would you go 2000 not 1500 would that be if I had to shop around a bit? The offer will stand, boy. I think I'll just pass it. Sorry, we couldn't come to an agreement. I don't think $1500 is that much money nowadays. Next time we have a Japanese weapon from World War II. The pawn shop is trying to sell my Japanese knee mortar today. I would really like to get 2000 for it.

My father served in World War II and brought back some things that I always kept an eye out for. This was responsible for quite a bit of carnage. It has a lot of history behind it and that is what World War II collectors want. He has been demilitarized after the war. Cut here into the barrel and then if you look at the front you can see there's a bar that's been welded in there as well. So what did you want to do with it? I would like to sell it well and how much you wanted for it.

I would like to get $2000. Rick is interested, however, he needs an expert to help him. I know absolutely nothing about the value. I have a friend about this thing who knows about all the things built in 1929. This was a very, very deadly weapon. The main thing you'll find with a mortar, a big, heavy base plate, the guys would run into the field and go down. They would slam it into the ground, pick it up, throw a grenade in and then pull the trigger and it would go out. Is it legal to own it? The answer is yes, this is 100% legal, so how much is it worth?

Let me rate the four-digit piece, so it's an early production piece, which makes it more valuable, people will ask a lot of money for it, oh, $5,000, but really, when these things come out, 2000, if he sold them he would ask $1995, negotiations begin but will Rick be able to convince the customer and is this one of those rare items that don't come around too often? I'd give you like 100 bucks for it, that's a little low. I think you could pay 1500 no because I'm thinking that's probably close to what I'm going to get. I'm going to pay 1200 and won't do it again.

I mean, $12,200. I think it's more than a fair price. 1300. See you in the middle. at 1250 it sold well, I'm comfortable with $1,250. I can put that money to good use in my collection. They got a very good piece. This incredibly detailed antique gun has Rick in awe. A pirate pistol of some kind. Today I'm at the pawn shop to try. sell my old pirate pistol. I hope to get at least $50,000 for my antique pistol. How did you get it? My father collected firearms. Rick isn't sure how much the gun is worth, so he calls an expert to find out more about it.

As? How much you're looking to profit from this, I think 50,000. I have a friend who really specializes in antique firearms like this. I would love to know more about it. The expert is impressed and shares his knowledge. This is beautiful. I would call this. a caucasian pistol this would be called a miguet lock a mullet lock has the mainsprings on the outside of the lock the traditional flint lock the mainsprings on the inside all this silver is hand sharpened do you have any idea how old it was? I think it is from the early 19th century because of the silver covering due to the fire gilding.

This is one of the most detailed Caucasian pistols I have ever seen. They decide to put it to the test and can you tell if this weapon would work? Shoot or not, there is no doubt it will shoot and it is one of the best examples I have seen. I would love to see it. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping we can actually fire this gun. The result is very impressive. a target, I prepared this wheel, okay Tracy, if you come to this side of me so that no one is in range of the mouth, then I'm going to pull this hammer back and I'm going to release it, we're ready and that's . a day off, I mean, everything was the best it could be, so the big question is how much is it worth if it were mine?

I wouldn't sell it for less than 15,000 thanks man I really appreciate it. What do you want for that? Obviously, 50,000 is not going to happen. How about 14? Think about it, thank you very much for your time, no problem, this customer C brings a very sharp article. These are my Freddy Krueger fingers, didn't they used to kill tigers with those? I came to the pawn shop today to try to sell what I think is a pair of Qatar scissors. At first I would like to get around $500 for it. I thought it was like a WWI bayonet or something, but I could use it in one hand to catch a sword or something.

I can also stab them with it. I don't see it as a really realistic weapon. I mean, this metal is very thin. It can be bent very easily as the conversation progresses. Both parties seem to know a lot about the item, but it's the value of it. This article is amazing. I think someone really appreciated it at some point, so what do you want to do with it? I want to sell it. I assume I'm going to get $100 out of this. Okay, I'll give it to you. 50 dollars I have two children, can we do it? 75 60 dollars 65 okay 65 dollars, go write them Dude, don't play with it and of course Dude has to prove it Dude, put the thing away before they put someone in the hospital, these guys just don't give me the respect that I deserve Friend and weapons do not mix.

I'll do it right if you do it, I'll cut your chin off 6 feet wide. Last but not least, item used for some of the deadliest. weapons this is a b57 tactical nuclear weapon uh this is a composite nose cone and behind this was a radar altimeter so basically if this cover fits this bomb is it authentic yes let's try it and see well it fits perfectly. I'm going to try to make a deal with this guy. Well, let's do that. That was the vanguard of our defense against the former Soviet Union. Rick is amazed, but he still needs to find a way to get this item.

It is difficult to determine the value. How much do you want? I want it 800 I have to find someone to buy it you take 300 dollars for it it has to be worth 700 we just meet in the middle at 600 that's even above the middle go to the middle 650 6 and a quarter 6 and a quarter we have a deal Thanks for watching and as always please like and subscribe for more content
