I worked in Customer Service and spoke to SEVERAL members of the Hatfield/McCoy family on BOTH sides that was so cool. They were willing to discuss the story . And ...a member of the Barrow family that still lives in Tx right outside where Clyde grew up.
I have always been curious as to why someone would try selling a known to be quite valuable item to a pawn shop - why not sell it directly to those who would be in the market for that sort of thing?
This is ine of the very very few reality shows that I used to watch, it's amazing that rick knows an expert for every little thing that comes into the pawn shop.
The producers of the show set up the "experts". Everything is staged. For example, the store isn't actually open to the public when they film. They have people milling around to make it look like customers are in the background. Antique, rare, valuable, or just interesting items are brought in that are not actually for sale, but make for good television with the pretend haggling/bargaining. And how do I know this? Years ago there were several articles written about the show revealing all sorts of things about how the show was actually produced.
I made myself a promise. If I get dragged in by click bait then I will keep track of the channels and never click on the channel again. Good bye forever!
They ask this because there maybe something in particular that Rick thinks might call into question the authenticity of the item, then he can explain to him why he's either right or not about that doubt. It helps as a learning tool for the audience as well as for Rick himself...
I think they personally give up that business because no matter what comes through the door they have to "call" an expert it seems they are as thick as shite and know nothing other than offering bottom price on everything truthfully believe they are nothing more than con merchants
The most valuable pistol I ever heard of was Herrmann Goering's highly customized and engraved German Luger Sold back in IIRC the 1980's for over $1,000,000 dollars
I can't remember prices but pretty sure there have been a few sold for higher prices. One of the rarest is the 1911 German Luger in .45 acp. Two were built for US Army trials. One eas destroyed or so I read.
Try looking up the value of one of the first Singer 1911 A1's. Or, if you can prove the provenance, the pair of dueling pistols used by Burr and Hamilton.
1892 Winchesters aren't all that rare. However, there are fewer of them out there for sale nowadays because S.A.S.S. members bought up a lot of them for use in Cowboy Action Shooting. The 1892 was ubiquitous in westerns from the early days of film to the late 1960's. "The Rifleman" with Chuck Connors features a 1892 Winchester carbine, and as with most of the westerns produced, it was anachronistic for the time period that Lucas McCain inhabited which took place in the 1880's, although some episodes seemed to be of an early time. I used to watch "Pawn Stars" when it first came out. Most of it is staged. It always seemed to me that they were getting their info about various items off the internet and then acting as if they were knowledgeable about whatever subject they dealt with. Most of the gun segments were off on various details.
@@GearUpB2 In 2002 I had a '92 carbine modified by Robert Lanthier of "Eagle Squadron Productions" to have the "d" ring lever of "The Rifleman" complete with the trigger screw that allows the gun to be rapidly fired by closing the lever. Lanthier was a great guy to work with. I just checked and Robert Lanthier is still at it! Nowadays "Eagle Squadron Productions" provides original 1892 Winchesters modified to replicate down to the last detail "The Mare's Leg" from "Wanted Dead or Alive", "The Rifleman" and several John Wayne westerns.
@@IMTHATMAN999 Thanks for the history lesson. I had'nt thought of the 'Mares Leg' in a long time. Artist and fabricator Von Dutch worked with Steve McQueen to develop that rifle/pistol as a gimmick to stand out among the many westerns on tv in 1958. Also making them today are Chiappa and Henry.
@@GearUpB2 When I was a little kid my parents found a chihuahua and for a little over a week it was mine and my sister's dog. However, the owners eventually showed up to pick up their dog. They gave my sister and I gifts to blunt the hurt of losing our first doggy. I forget what my sister got, but I remember very distinctly the toy "Mare's Leg" I got complete with the belt and holster. Chiappa, Henry and other manufacturers make versions of the "Mare's Leg", but not actual replicas to my mind. However, they are much less expensive than those of the firm I mentioned. Thanks for your response. When you said you hadn't thought about the "Mare's Leg" in a long time it prompted my memory of getting the toy. For some reason I haven't thought about it even though I've recently watched episodes of "Wanted: Dead or Alive"! Funny how that works.
iInteresting that there was no discussion about the serial number. IF the serial number stamed into the the barrel (AND it shows no sign of tampering) then why not check with the manufacturer to inquire about any existing sales receipt(s).
That's is a smart way to check the lands and grooves of the inside of the barrels and so is a off set color lazor light thanks Fred G sandford of the junk yard
Check the dates of the battles during the feud. Were they before 1892? No the final battles were in 1888. May have been Caps rifle but wasnt used in the feud.
Believe it or not some guns in terrible condition sell for astronomical prices even if its rusty as hell won't fire an or even wont hold bullets to enable you to fire or in such bad shape you don't want to risk firing it may sell for far more than a similar gun in good condition that works.
Rick is unbelievable even when an expert 100% comes down on the side of the seller he still won't give a decent price . No wonder he is a fookin millionaire.
I thought this guy was supposed to be a history expert. Louisiana's first native guard did not start off as Union and less than 10% of them continued fighting after being conquered by the union. Their names and ranks are known and documented as a militia and the census from Louisiana during that time and certain orders at the beginning of the Confederacy would explain why this happened.
OK, I'm gonna say something about the Confederate Army and I know it's gonna upset a lot of people but that war did not start over racism or slavery and the Confederate Army was the first to offer slaves that fought on there behalf there freedom but what happened? Was Abraham Lincoln did the same thing. And because America, war. They stripped of all the history of it, so it's gotten lost over time, but that war had nothing to do with racism. It had to do with taxation without representation. The same thing America fought England over. When? It was first established as a country. But we don't talk about that. Why not? It's because our leaders stripped that history and was remade. In its own image, think about it. People are doing that now with removing parts of history. And that's gonna be lost over time and mis interpreted later on down the road.
Assuming true, Having your "expert" come in and try to sell you a gun ect seems really uncomfortable as you have to keep doing business with him and trusting his judgement.
So when he needs an expert. He calls in "Craig". But when an expert "Craig" is selling a gun. He doesn't trust him or his provenance. Then he calls in "Mark". LOL just proves the show and shop were just a scam.
Killed people on the other side in a feud. Don't y'all know nothin' 'bout feudin'? Just like a war but on a small scale. Killin' for a horse is murder.
Because horse-dude had nothing to do with the feud. He was a civilian. I've read the accounts on this feud for many years and they prefer to keep everything in-house between the families. Even in the same counties, not all residents were family members. Devil Anse in particular, knew neighbors who wanted nothing to do with their war and left them alone..as long as they dont help the McCoys.
I dont do pretty its the same $6000 gun with a bunch of chrome ....... you know how much chromes is worth? look it up, friend just chromed his bike, now it ways 60 pounds more, burns more fuel, and can get back to 120 kilometers an hour fir some reason, mines blank, does 200 miles an hour top
This 18 minute X-LIST is *CLICK BAIT* : Pawn Stars Expert: "Rarest Pistol In The World...". is a false title There is *NO* $804k gun shown, don’t waste your time
The Hatfield-McCoy feud ended in 1891. The Winchester 1892 began production in 1892. Hmmmm. Me doth smell a rat. Or perhaps a country boy at the end of a feud had a preproduction Winchester rifle? Would have been nice to know the caliber. Lots of post production guns were made by others after Winchester stopped making them maybe different calibers like the John Waye reproduction in .357 if memory serves
Maybe lame to you know but back then that's what they did and everything trade stuff and a gun is more valuable than a horse for that time learn your history before calling it lame lol because that's what they did back then lol
@TerryKeever it's what he said in being that's he thinks it's lame back then trading a horse for a weapon it's like that's what they did back in cowboy days and all they had

Damn....I would pay 10-12 k just to hang that fkr on my wall...it would be " Cool" as rick says...but a major talking point at parties. I find the pricing of $1500 to $1750 is just total BS.

But these so called specialists who are "good to rick"! are ripping the public off for favors with rick.
Misleading title….again! Where are the rarest weapons and the 804K worth pistol? Just wasted my time
Let me guess u know someone who has a lot of the McCoy and Hatfield guns just laying around
Agreed. Complete BULLSHIT

I believe they call it Click Bait?

I have always been curious as to why someone would try selling a known to be quite valuable item to a pawn shop - why not sell it directly to those who would be in the market for that sort of thing?
anyone selling anything in a Pawn Shop can expext to receive less than 50% of face value...!
They just want to be on TV.
As soon as the customer says a price he wants. Rick starts with all the problems he can find
Of course he does, he is a hustler praying on desperate people.
They want thousands, he offers $50.........
It's called "negotiating".
@@paulm749 Yes, it's what all professional buyers do.

This is ine of the very very few reality shows that I used to watch, it's amazing that rick knows an expert for every little thing that comes into the pawn shop.
They cue him up with all of this pre the transactions.
That's because he never let anything on camera he DIDNT have an expert for.

Passes down throughout my family and now to u Rick. What a joke.
That rifle is an awesome pistol
Reindeer, Rick? That’s a red stag
Yeah, I rolled my eyes on that one.
Probably shouldn't, but I gave this video an upvote solely for showing the story about the revolver owned by Lt. Hayes - that was pretty cool.
Typical , Pawn Brokers , steal the milk out of your tea , and couldn't lie straight in bed, gimme strength. Ric
I agree pawn brokers are often unscrupulous. When 'horse trading', the buyer (and selller) needs to beware

How many people are part of the Hatifelds/McCoys? I'm a Mccoy, I had a friend growing up that was a Hatfield.
I was surprised that the handling of old steel guns was not done with gloves as just the normal sweat on some people's hands van cause rusting.
Interesting...Title of the film clip is rarest pistol in the world but the first weapon featured is a rifle.
Rarest pistols and you start with a rifle??. Uhh huh
It's a common practice of mine to believe the exact opposite of a TH-cam title. It's worked out pretty well so far😂
Rick & his buddies always under bid & people fall for it.
Is there any pawn shop that won't poke eyes?
Not how it works. He bids low because he still has to mark it up to make a profit. Running a business is expensive and he has to be in it low.
This is a fine example of "click bait"....
Another five mins of my life I never get back waste of time folks leave this

Check the dates of the battles during the feud. Were they before 1892? No the final battles were in 1888. May have been Caps rifle but wasnt used in the feud.
The biggest slaveowner in the south was Black. Some Blacks actually had a stake in the slavetrade.
