EXPERTS ACTUALLY SAVED Rick Harrison From Losing Everything

I wouldn't touch this with a 10t pole. There are people who have been at home for 10 months and have paid like $20,000 in fines for selling these things illegally. This is the kind of thing that can get me in trouble. It is a serious crime to own this. What a counterfeit bill is not legal for a customer brings back political memories to the store. I have some political memories. Jay Howard McGrath's Secret Service ID. The Attorney General of the United States. A letter signed by J. G. Hoover and half of a $10 bill signed by him. I know I never got Secret Service because everyone knows they exist.

Where did you get them from? I bought them from his grandson McGrath was the Attorney General under Truman in the late 40's and early 50's. I don't think McGrath was

actually

in the Secret Service, but rather as a lawyer. Overall, I'm sure he got the credentials he wanted. I think it's half of a fake 10 dollar bill. They signed it to the attorney general. He is sure it is a forgery, but it is not a serious misprint. I don't know, bills with printing errors can be worth a lot. money for collectors, but fake money, that's a completely different story, it's a federal crime to use a counterfeit bill, so I guess you can't have one.

Rick takes a close look to verify the legitimacy of it. Yes, it's fake. All US currency. They throw silk rats. with the paper, so if you take a bill and look at it closely you'll see little red and blue lines everywhere, if that's not there, it's not real, this has nothing like that, okay, I don't even have I think It is legal to own this. This is an amazing collection. You never see things like this, but it scares the hell out of me. This is the kind of thing that can get me in trouble. These three things I really want to have. reviewed I'm not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure it's a crime to own this thing.

Let me make a phone call. I'll be right back. I really hope it's legal to keep things because it's awesome. The expert comes to provide more details now let me take a look here. Oh, yeah, this is his secret service credential. The seal relief is right on this, so it's fine. Rick expresses his concern about how collectible this guy is and if he's anything like that. legal to have a pass from the White House they are not very common they are collected, on the other hand you don't want a counterfeit bill it is not legal to possess obviously these guys were probably involved in any case where this came out they gave it to them as a souvenir, this is the kind of things you don't want to have.

Can we crush it? The best we can do is turn it over to the Secret Service. Okay, the seller offers a price. How much do you want? I would like to. $1,000 ain't gonna happen no one knows who it was this one isn't stamped retired you heard him say it was weird how about 800 four yeah I mean I need five yeah I'll give you 500 bucks I got a deal okay come with me , man, a lady brings a poker cheating device to the store, they used it to cheat at cards, a lot of people died with this town, really cool little engineering, any idea what you want for it?

I'm thinking, um. range is 600 to 6000 Cory calls in an expert. I'm going to have to call a friend of mine. Have you ever heard of the saying "I have nothing up my sleeve"? Well, this is the device you started with. Actually, it's a Martin San. Francisco card, wait, so what do you think it's worth? It is worth between $1,500 and $2,200. I would give you 800 dollars 2,000 you can't make money. I'd give you like 800 dollars. It's going to be hard to sell 13 $900 $900, okay. A customer enters the store to sell a guitar shaped like a turtle shell. I have this guitar here and I wasn't sure if he could sell it legally or not.

Yes, no one has ever asked me if it is legal to sell their guitar, it is a turtle. Shell, where the hell did you get this? I bought it at a pawn shop for some reason. It attracted me. I've done some research on it. The UK government has one that they confiscated at customs. There is a very limited quantity. They all look great and are incredibly durable, but some turtles became endangered, so in the early 1970s the trade in turtle shells was banned. I don't know if it was the early 70's or older which would determine if it is legal for me to purchase this.

What you have to think about is that a bald eagle feather is a $10,000 fine. The expert shares more details about the article. I have a friend with the store right down the street so he can know the laws about it. Making a new guitar in a turtle shell. It would be illegal so we are looking at an extremely rare find here this is the guitar that I called you about the sea turtles maybe you have some idea what they sound like. I know the Bluegrass guys prefer a real tortoise shell pick because of the sound it seems to have a weird scale length the neck looks really short I have no idea what it could sound amazing Rick shows his concerns basically it's legal to have any idea what it's worth is a little hard because I don't think you'd have any problem having it, it's been around forever, people have been doing things with turtles, but I don't know how to sell it, you could probably get some money and someone worked a lot on Lan this one Honestly, it's a little difficult, man, I wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole.

There are people who have done 10 months of internal rest and have paid like 20 thousand dollars in fines for selling these things illegally. Thanks, no problem, good luck. man hey thanks this lady is looking to sell a very unusual gun it's a desk but it's not

actually

a desk it's actually a gun when you press the ink a bullet shoots out through the trap door. I have no idea how much it costs. It's worth it, I'm 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 on. I had a really good one. I looked inside and said, you know, this isn't 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 going to stop anyone if you shoot them in the face. the thigh with a small .22 like that the bullet is not going to come out with much power. I had never seen one before. I only buy guns made in 1898 and the problem I have here is that I don't know the date.

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 pressures there is the trigger. Have you ever seen one? I have never seen this. What is the practical application? That's what goes through my head. I don't see any myself. I've never seen anything like this. It could have even been something unique or perhaps a movie prop. I do not 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 client and what to do is one to have a gun but now you have a hidden weapon because it is a hidden weapon of any type of markings on the firing mechanism there was the beginning of a patent number, it said patent one, it appears to be between 1890 and about 1910, it's not worth the risk, you would have to take it to a gunsmith and have them professionally deactivate the mechanism.

I'd love to do that, Ben, 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're welcome. An article from the Cold War. Rick is surprised. This is known as. an infrared heat seeker for Sidewinder missiles I'm going to go to the pawn shop to sell my infrared heat seekers because there are a lot of collectors out there who would love to have one uh no, we've never had a guidance system for a missile. I used to guide Winder side missiles, so where did you get this?

My dad used to bid on military surplus in the '70s and '80s, he bid on empty shipping containers, 400 of them, sealed bid, he won it for $25 while he loaded them. In the truck, he noticed that some were heavy and these were inside. Do you have documents from the Department of Defense that indicate he may own this thing? Yes, and this is all from the Department of the Navy. It looks like it's ready 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?

What the hell are you going to do with that? I mean, is it worth any money? I mean, let me go call someone. I know what's going on with that. Brilliant. The expert is amazed. I am a US Marine Corps FA8 pilot with 17 years of experience. This is a very interesting article. I'm really surprised he's the owner. Do you have documents that say you can have it? It's actually an A9 heat. It's very rare to have a finder's head outside of a military base, much less in a pawn shop in Las Vegas. This item is basically the upper foot and a half of a 9 foot thermal seeking missile.

It probably came out in the early 1960s. This was the leading technology. has some more amazing news, but also some bad news. In the 1960s actually this missile was compromised a year later the communists had the exact same missile so the advantage we had initially in Vietnam disappeared in the late 1960s so you're not like that . a russian spy or something are you in good shape on a scale of 1 to 10 as a fighter pilot? I would give it a nine. Rick enters negotiations and gets the best of the deal. Really commercial value. Nothing. I'll be honest.

With you, thanks man, you can bet I appreciate you coming out happy to see you, so how much do we want to get out of this? About $3000, no I'm thinking $500, don't you think this is worth more, at 750 it's out of the question. 750 is out of the question. I'm going to buy 550 dollars. Well, we have more. I'll take 50. Okay, even if I don't sell it, I'm just as happy to have it on my shelf. We have a client with an Object of Mass Destruction. I think I have the deadliest object that has ever walked through your door.

What is it? It's a Russian ICB M launch key. Seriously, it would launch a thermonuclear 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 Rick. He asks his friend Mark to come in and take a look. These are nice, they are the key to launching, have you ever worked with titanium, if you did it with titanium, you have a bigger garage than anyone else.

I know a lot of people tend to think that they were used for nuclear missiles like ICBMs and something like that, but no, they were used to launch spaceships, okay, so they're probably still a pretty rare item, yeah, they're rare because there were many more ICBM wrenches out there. Rick still wants the item so they get into a war of negotiations with the customer now that I know what these things really are I have to admit I want them you know I'd give you like $1,500 for them $1,500 uh okay I'll keep it nice , thank you, thank you, next we have a customer with a very unique War Item.

Today I went to the pawn shop to try to sell my WWII grenade. I really have no idea what it's worth. It's super rare, so I hope it's worth a lot. Well, there are no explosive things inside it. What I do? You know, it was manufactured by the OSS or the 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 stands for The Eastman Kodak company let me call him Tony at the gun store until they check it out.

I have no idea how much it is worth. Rick needs help, so he calls Tony. This is a grenade made for the OSS, it was the Forerunner. CIA this would normally be full of TNT you screw us 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 great, so I got some gas money. You have money for the car, it turns out that Rick has something, a unique item in 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, come on. WR, sounds good, psyched up, I have this grenade. It was a big deal. There's nothing cooler than these forged documents confiscated during World War II being brought to the store by a lady. These are forged documents that were confiscated from a Nazi spy during World War II. My grandfather was a really big world. or to the collector i hope to get about $8,000 believe it or not we didn't have a real spy service before world war ii franklin delanor roosevelt created the oss the office of strategic services i think this is like possibly forged documents from the germans How much did you want for these?

I was expecting 8000. I'll give you 4000 for them. Cory recommends Rick call an expert, but Rick negotiates theprice. How do you know that fake things are really fake things? I have this. take 4,000 for it, around six, I'd pay you 5,000 for it, sounds good, thanks. In fact, I know some of the above. I made some phone calls. Now I'm going to an undisclosed location. I hope you can give me good news. It's 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 check them out. These are. I think they are fake. IDs and I think some of this stuff was forged by the Germans, maybe the Americans were working on stuff, so can you authenticate this stuff? They look very real, but as a government official I cannot authenticate these artifacts. The head of research and development at OSS. program I created a scrapbook highlighting all the best forged items the OSS made the director of the CIA Museum opens a book to compare the documents all similar to here you have a registration certificate so these are the kind of pocket junk like call that you would like to have To make it seem like you really belong there, that type of person was going to be very valuable to someone who was going to go abroad and be able to do these secret missions, so at this point I'm pretty confident in my feeling that this was forged material from the bad guys this client 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 that follow the career of a soldier from second lieutenant to general brigade, okay, we have Lieutenant Colonel under Theodore Roosevelt along with William T as Secretary of War RI takes a closer look at the documents.

Who was this guy? This was Lorenzo w Cook, 2nd Lieutenant in 1866. You just have a lot of paperwork here. This is the brilliant Chester A Arthur. 1883 looks like the guy rose quite a bit through the military ranks to reach the position of General, it's pretty rare which makes for an interesting story and can be a great selling point for collectors, so how much do you want for the stuff? I was thinking between 10 and 12,000. Do you mind if I ask someone to look at all of Rick's calls to an expert? Which of these signatures is real? Which are not many?

Of these were signed by secretaries. Let me see Roosevelt Theo's. Johnson, the main thing I'm looking for here is how the characters are formed, especially if it's a secretarial firm, the characters will be similar to the original but not exactly the same. One of these signatures is not real. What is Andrew Johnson Johnson notoriously HT? his hand a couple of months after his president and started using a stamp, the expert checks if they are real, if you look very closely you can see the way the ink adheres to the paper, so this here is stamped , the good news is that everyone else is really great, how much do you think they are worth if you have it as a group?

Tells a story. Grand is worth a thousand on his own, Teddy Roosevelt is worth about 750 on his own and you could be looking at up to $10,000 okay thanks girl you are the best. I'll give you 5 grand, about 65, how about 5 grand? 62 if you want five grand. I got a deal for 5 grand. Okay, a customer comes into the store to sell a historical document. from a man who helped develop the atomic bomb historical document from a gentleman who helped develop the atomic bomb the certificate is recognized and his work is essential to the production of the atomic bomb Loopsy worked with magnets and some amplifications it was truly brilliant The Scientist Rick asks for an offer.

How much do you offer it? I'd like to get $1,100 because it's a really cool, like I said, historic certificate, but I'll give you $1 for it. I'd be willing to take 1,000 if that's not going to happen. What is the most you can give me? Bock. I understand. I apreciate it. Have a good man. Alright. Thank you. A lady brings some old documents from the Pentagon. I have old Pentagon documents from 1972 to early 1973. You weren't a spy or anything, were you? 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 Olympic Games. This is International Affairs of the USSR. The Vietnam developments sound like things they wouldn't want the media to know about if you look on almost every page. On every page is written Lieutenant Colonel Morgan, who we believe was given so as not to take volumes of paper from the Pentagon and bring them home, I mean. I don't know if you can have them. Let me call someone here and find out what the problem is. Rick decides to call an expert to summarize what they contain.

What concerns do you have about them? They are rare? They are legal to own, in fact these are daily reports. Its purpose was to let interested people inside the Pentagon know what was being said in foreign markets. The interesting thing here is that the scops copy the Psychological Operations Division, the person who was receiving was Doc, the deputy director of counterinsurgency operations and Special Affairs. It is openly available today. Yes, they're D-legal, so they're not secret, but you know they're not the kind of thing a lot of people would collect. It's not rare, you can go to the library, search and read

everything

on every single page, they're not rare, they're not collectible and it's all public knowledge, I wouldn't want to bid on them, I just don't.

I don't see 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. It was the crime of the century. The first to see this since the early 1940s is the baby photo. The photo of the ransom note. So where did you get these from? They were bequeathed to my grandmother, the researcher. Rick and the client share some details about how the kidnapping took place. Their little one was kidnapped around 10:00 at night a babysitter went up to the room the child was gone stairs climbing into the wind weeks after the kidnapping 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 BR. 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 everything this. Rick seeks help from an Expert, is it real? From what I'm seeing here, it seems to me that all of these are legitimately Leon Hoy papers, but is this something collectible?

There would certainly be researchers who would love this kind of thing. Thanks, how much did you want for it? I have no idea, for once in my life I am overwhelmed with something. I'd give you $1,000 and I'm just taking a full photo in the dark. Would you spend 2,000? No? 1,500 would be that if I had to compare prices a bit. The offer will stand, boy. I think I'll pass them on. Sorry, we couldn't reach an agreement. So I don't think $1,500 is that much money these days. Thanks for watching and, as always, like it. And subscribe for more content.
