still the only remotely realistic transaction on this show since History bought it. Its a pawn shop, not a auction house, not a convention, not a collector meetup...its a pawn shop. "I know this is worth $150, I don't really know how to take care of this or store it properly and I was hoping for some birthday spending money in Vegas"...that is a pawn shop worthy transaction. Not "I want to top dollar"
@evanhunke1676 I mean, you know Vegas is still a city people live in and around right..? It's not purely a vacation destination with NOTHING but tourists
@ No, I get that, I am not denying that. I am just saying that las vegas locals who enherit a coin collection from their grandfather they aren't interested in keeping, or really need the money will more likely take it to a dealer, an auction house, ebay something...not to the pawn shop. Most pawn brokers won't buy the things that show up on the show simply because of how long it may take to find a buyer...there is a reason they lowball offer people on this stuff, they have to pay an employee to spend time off the floor hunting down a buyer
"No one's gonna buy this gun desk for their children" "I've been collecting guns and weapons since I was 10 years old" Sounds like his parents probably would've bought it for him?
@J76533If i was American i would had Started at the Age of 7 But sadley im from Germany and here we cant even carry a swiss Army Knife or Blades over 7 cm
If they were to recover the lost items and could prove they were fake, would the claimant not be risking insurance fraud and also counterfeiting? Two crimes for the price of one. Best thing to do would be to destroy the evidence, I doubt that the fake item was actually stolen, so if they are staging a theft, why leave evidenc? No body no crime situation.@@PlasmaStorm73
Idk why they were bashing him over the coin. There is literally 0 way he could know that it was stolen. Especially when the person he bought it from had gotten it legit
because there is no evidence that it is an ancient coin and anyone can just have the same engraving on the hammer and hit a piece of silver to make it lol. 1,600 isnt worth for something that you didnt even try to authenticate.
One of them mentioned that the gun desk might have been a movie prop. If it was only ever intended to fire a .22 blank cartridge, that would explain everything.
@CJR_GentArtist that would explain the little door infront of it being broken in half too, the pressure from a blank firing behind it, probably meant to blow it open and it cracked eventually.
Or as piece of custom furniture commissioned by a wealthy, paranoid client, the mob or in spycraft as insurance against their enemies. The provenance may be more valuable than the object itself.
@Ashlava263 haha I know just being silly haha though weird them wanting a guitar without string they wouldnt take 3 of mybguitars because it have sweat on the fingerboard lol
"Tortoise shell" is a misnomer. It's actually sea turtle, and illegal to sell. The most commonly used is/was the Hawksbill Sea Turtle. That's what was used to make this guitar. The US Endangered Species Act would prohibit the transfer or ownership (outside of family) if it was manufactured after about 1974. However, unless it is over 100yrs old, it cannot "enter into commerce". That means it can't be bought or sold (or bartered). Once an item is over 100yrs old (at that point, it's officially considered an antique), it is exempt from the prohibitions of the ESA.
That actually happens a lot, especially with people who finds antiques in some dark corner of their home. A bit less in the US, because there aren't as many ancestral property of significant length(most native dwelling have long since disappeared). But very common in Asia and Europe.
@okamijubei I think the problem they had was the fact they couldn't verify that it was made before CITES banned tortoiseshell trade. The guy said he bought it in a pawnshop with apparently no CITES certificate, no serial number, and no history behind it, which a big red flag. Guitars with Brazilian Rosewood have similar restrictions. CITES banned harvesting it in 1992, so the serial number on a vintage guitar is crucial to prove the date of manufacture, and any post-1992 guitars using it need a CITES certificate to verify that the timber used was harvested before the ban.
Gun desk is not illegal, you just have to let the ATF know about it, pay five bucks and get a background check. The ATF calls them an Any Other Weapon.
1) Rick says he would LOVE to have the one-of-a-kind gun desk; 2) Sean encourages Janet to pay to have the firing mechanism deactivated for safety, legality, liability, & better saleability; 3) Janet seems willing & able to take it to a gunsmith in order to facilitate a potential sale.....4) Janet goes through the time & expense of the previously outlined process with the implication of inferred potential sale, returns to the shop, then Rick says "Best we can do is $100 bucks" LMFAO
Desk was for a show ,used as demo at furniture section of police station furnishing ,basically made small for easy transportation scale 1 to 2 ,to be shown at gun shows as desk for police chidf.
@rareblues78daddy sounds funny but when you had to carry 10 items at shows you had to reduce the size there was no uhaul back then so they had to come up with ideas,they built these for homes of accountants,lawyers,bank directors, city mayor, it was self defence.
Not uncommon. The label was enforced by GB on german products to designate cheap stuff. Later turned into a quality mark. I also have a japanese camera labeled Made in Japan and not in Kanji
You know you’re no good at being a father when a guy named Chum-Lee is more likeable than your own son lol. Also it seems like they both give dead fish handshakes 😖
@mikebryant8507 he covered for sandusky after being told multiple times. He did not report or do anything to stop the pedo. He absolutely did something wrong
@johnpederson4345 Actually he banned Sandusky from all the football facilities, ended the team's relationship with him, and reported it to the athletic director and University Police Chief and then those two conspired to cover it up. Paterno was caught in the witch hunt for anybody who had so much as shaken Sanduskys hand over the course of the three decades he was there
I bought a small desk like this before although it was more primitive style - it was a cash desk that a payroll clerk would have in the field to pay workers. This is the same size & type of my desk, and it would make sense to have a built in gun to prevent stealing the cash for payroll.
If a guy comes in and says "I've never seen this before," he's not an expert. As was clearly the case with the gun desk. She should've taken that to a REAL expert. I've also been to that store, and it's neither all that big nor impressive. And everything is overpriced.
And? Tons of ppl get money for doing nothing. It's called welfare. Many are afforded all kinds of "privileges" but we don't go around bragging that we were born white. Lol weird flex bragging that your wife is native American
Native Americans have a high rate of alcohol abuse abuse, poverty, and unemployment than the general population... but, at least y'all got those eagle feathers 🪶😂
OMG! That desk gun is too scary. it shoots deadly concealed gun bullets, only criminals have concealed guns that shoot illegal bullets, i feel faint, so incredibly deadly and scary and illegal
if the insurance co. pays for the loss, sometimes they then get the rights to the item if it is found. Like a stolen car. they pay the owner but if the vehicle is found later, it needs to be turned over to the insurance co as the owner... that may not have been the case here with the coin, but it can be the case in other instances...
19:07 You’re telling me “the guy who originally lost the sheckle was compensated!!!” How tf did they track that original person down. Where did that compensation truly go?! O.o
Why is it difficult to know the aim of the gun desk? If the man at the desk is threatened, he can shoot the unsuspecting aggressor by pressing the button on the desk.
This is not a spy camera, I had one, I bought it in a store in Toronto, Canada in 1973, I bought it new, It was $125.00 CD. sold it few years ago on Ebay for $200 US. the problem with this camera is the film, nobody sell the film. When I bought it, they sold the film, but about 1987 I could no longer find the film.
Interesting that their "gun expert" thought that post 19th-century firearms need to be registered with the ATF. There is no such program for non-NFA items. It is also not illegal to own it or sell it in most States, and in many States no FFL transfer would be needed. A useless item for sure and not a legal issue in most places in the US.
@SkullivanBones not sure about the laws in Nevada, but I don’t believe you need to transfer at an FFL for PRIVATE sales. Now selling it in a retail shop like this pawn shop would require someone on site to have a current FFL. Lastly, that gun desk isn’t an NFA item so there is no need for any type of “registration” with the ATF. The “gun expert” would know that if he were an actual expert and not an actor. The more I watch this show in reruns, the more I realize how it was almost entirely staged and fake.
On the Minox III, the serial number is inside the camera, whatever was etched outside was definitely not a serial number. Back in the day, it was common to etch your name and information on your camera, in case you lost it. A less damaging method was to use DYMO embossing tape. In the present case, I believe one Bill McCoad bought the camera from someone else, scratched the previous owner's info and etched his own.
I used to be a Minox camera dealer. I sold a lot of them. The problem with them is you had to send the film to Minox to get developed for no one had the machinery to developed and print the small film
@JDski They are not worth much. I have no idea if Minox is still making film and developing it. DJI Osmos camera is a 1,000 times better and you can print the pictures with your own printer. You have a novelty item that is fun to play with. Quality of photos was not very good.
@jginmt I did research and put a note in the case with the camera back in the '90's of a place where I could still find film for it. It was expensive. $36 for 12 pictures plus $19 to develop it. That was back then. So I knew it was not an efficient camera to use even when you still could get film for it.
It’s not illegal. The gun desk, I mean. It falls under the same category of basic gunsmithing(like building your own AR). Under the United States constitution, it is classified as arms, and is, and should always be, therefore considered a legally attainable firearm. Firearms are not required to have a serial number for building, recreational use, or carry unless it is to be transferred via an FFL certificated facility. This is a completely LEGAL item for display, or use, however it cannot be transferred due to the lack of a serial number.
They still probably wouldn't buy it unless they knew someone would buy it off them. It's definitely a novelty, and could be bought and sold legally, but the expert gave his professional opinion. So Rick trusted him
@okamijubei Correct. Then the mechanism can be dismantled and each part sold piecemeal to the new owner, who can then rebuild the mechanism and reapply it to the desks structure. Although I strongly believe that it should be transferable as it sits, due to its lack of a serial number or manufacturer number, the only way to transfer it is private sale using word of mouth. Can’t even make formal posts about it or list it. The easiest thing to do would be to contact a museum to see if they’d be interested in it due to its potential historical significance as a relic from 19th and 20th century industry. Payroll Desks are historically relevant, and to my knowledge, they remain relatively scarce with very few surviving examples. So perhaps selling it to a Museum would be the only way to offload it that doesn’t require a lot of real footwork. But, like I said, our constitution should’ve guaranteed that we wouldn’t need to jump through *_ANY_* unnecessary hoops to buy or sell something like this. 😒.

“He was in the German military in the 194…*ahem*
1950’s…
Yeah, the 1950’s”
still the only remotely realistic transaction on this show since History bought it. Its a pawn shop, not a auction house, not a convention, not a collector meetup...its a pawn shop. "I know this is worth $150, I don't really know how to take care of this or store it properly and I was hoping for some birthday spending money in Vegas"...that is a pawn shop worthy transaction. Not "I want to top dollar"
That’s not how he said it though lol 🤔
@evanhunke1676 I mean, you know Vegas is still a city people live in and around right..? It's not purely a vacation destination with NOTHING but tourists
@ No, I get that, I am not denying that. I am just saying that las vegas locals who enherit a coin collection from their grandfather they aren't interested in keeping, or really need the money will more likely take it to a dealer, an auction house, ebay something...not to the pawn shop. Most pawn brokers won't buy the things that show up on the show simply because of how long it may take to find a buyer...there is a reason they lowball offer people on this stuff, they have to pay an employee to spend time off the floor hunting down a buyer
@evanhunke1676 The problem is, they don't know the value, and a lot of people aren't smart enough to, or are too lazy to go through the effort.
"I wanna sell this rocketship"
Aight, lemme just have my rocketship guy look at it.
hahaha great line!
the real question is can we fly it? if it flies, we may look into a lot of money.
The have a guy for everything! They’re right around the corner too!
@mikes3667 That's the beauty of being a high profile pawn shop in a high profile area. You get to know people that are experts in a lot of areas.
Well it if flies, they can’t use it anymore! Duh
"No one's gonna buy this gun desk for their children"
"I've been collecting guns and weapons since I was 10 years old"
Sounds like his parents probably would've bought it for him?
10 year olds should be collecting stamps and coins, not guns and weapons.
@bigredsock1 no 10-year-old is collecting stamps.
Good point😂
@J76533If i was American i would had Started at the Age of 7 But sadley im from Germany and here we cant even carry a swiss Army Knife or Blades over 7 cm
Sounds like something a James Bond nemesis would use
Why were they arguing over if the coin was real. Insurance wouldn’t have compensated the original owner if it weren’t.
Above comment is true plus you can also insure just about anything
If they were to recover the lost items and could prove they were fake, would the claimant not be risking insurance fraud and also counterfeiting? Two crimes for the price of one. Best thing to do would be to destroy the evidence, I doubt that the fake item was actually stolen, so if they are staging a theft, why leave evidenc? No body no crime situation.@@PlasmaStorm73
Reality TV drama, that's why.
Technically he send it out to be graded before he found out that it was stolen
It’s called insurance fraud people do it all the time Especially with stolen items
Idk why they were bashing him over the coin. There is literally 0 way he could know that it was stolen. Especially when the person he bought it from had gotten it legit
Thats just part of the series to make it more entertaining
That's something can happen in a Pawn Shop, the law is the law and the guys kinda had to return many things including the submarine.
because there is no evidence that it is an ancient coin and anyone can just have the same engraving on the hammer and hit a piece of silver to make it lol. 1,600 isnt worth for something that you didnt even try to authenticate.
It's a show. That's their main source of income, not the items they buy and sell.
There are databases of stolen items they likely have access to.
One of them mentioned that the gun desk might have been a movie prop. If it was only ever intended to fire a .22 blank cartridge, that would explain everything.
@CJR_GentArtist that would explain the little door infront of it being broken in half too, the pressure from a blank firing behind it, probably meant to blow it open and it cracked eventually.
Give it to Alec Baldwin and he'll get in trouble 😆😆
Or as piece of custom furniture commissioned by a wealthy, paranoid client, the mob or in spycraft as insurance against their enemies. The provenance may be more valuable than the object itself.
I know for are they had one of these in a movie but I can’t pin point what movie lol
Great comment.
''yeah they call me down here anytime they need someone to look at anything with Strings'' : Shows a guitar without strings haha
I think he means any strings instrument
Funnt but low iq
@Ashlava263 hush nerd
tbh, he didn't really add much anyway (didn't say anything about its age), so it must've been the lack of strings!
@Ashlava263 haha I know just being silly haha though weird them wanting a guitar without string they wouldnt take 3 of mybguitars because it have sweat on the fingerboard lol
"I have two kilos of uncut Columbian yayo"
Rick: "Let me get Chumlee"
You should be a writer 😊
Idk Rick : looks fake to me ahahaha
Rick: “best I can do is $20. The resale fees, cutting it - it’s all work. I take all the risk”
Called in a guitar expert for a question on endangered animal laws 😭
I’m pretty sure that’s a hawksbill sea turtle shell… any government would be all over that. Yikes.
He was probably looking to get a date of manufacture for the guitar. If it's old enough, then it's ok. A guitar expert would be the best bet for that.
You know dude cleaned that coin right before coming in 😂
Definitely
The face he made when told how much it would've been dirty definitely screamed he cleaned it before bringing it in.
And given his "but there's a chance, right?" - I guarantee it. Definitely not the brightest lightbulb...
Doesn't everyone clean old coins to make them shiny and look like new? More valuable that way. 🤣
at least he didn't pre-shave it. 🤣
officer this glock was actually manufactured before 1898, so i dont need a license for it
Ya and so is the switch I got on it 🤣🤣🤣
"Tortoise shell" is a misnomer. It's actually sea turtle, and illegal to sell. The most commonly used is/was the Hawksbill Sea Turtle. That's what was used to make this guitar.

Once an item is over 100yrs old (at that point, it's officially considered an antique), it is exempt from the prohibitions of the ESA.
I thought it was a Hawksbill shell! Very interesting.
I see people who have a tortoise shell guitar and people spent 10 months of in house arrest and jail time and paid 20k in fines
thank you i thought i was going crazy
So dumb.
@208sapphire Who ratted them out.
Why does Rick’s son always look like “Eww, I’m touching a peasant!” When he shakes someone’s hand.
He got a taste of money and started acting funny
@spykeso9got a taste of your dad hiring you to rip people off you mean**
Nepo baby
Cause he is royalty 👑
Always looks dismayed.
Could you imagine if that guy cleaned the coin just before going to the pawn shop 😮
right? his face made it look like maybe he was the one who cleaned it and lost out on like 5 grand.
That actually happens a lot, especially with people who finds antiques in some dark corner of their home.
A bit less in the US, because there aren't as many ancestral property of significant length(most native dwelling have long since disappeared). But very common in Asia and Europe.
@justanoman6497I have a friend whose family found a painting in their attic. It was worth a couple million pounds. Absolutely wild.
As a coin collector there’s nothing worse than seeing a legitimate valuable coin that was “cleaned”. Like it should be a crime to do that
@seansingh4421 yeah, defacing old currency like that does sound like a crime
The guitar was right off the Flintstones.
But shouldn't the law allow the ones to be sold before 1964 endanger species act?
@okamijubei I think the problem they had was the fact they couldn't verify that it was made before CITES banned tortoiseshell trade. The guy said he bought it in a pawnshop with apparently no CITES certificate, no serial number, and no history behind it, which a big red flag.

Yeah! It belonged to Rock Roll! TWITCH, TWITCH!! 🤪
That was an comment

Rick is like Frank Reynolds from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: he's always got a "friend" for every situation...
As a pawn shop owner, yeah, obviously he has connections when it comes to selling and buying.
It is OBVIOUSLY to give them FREE advertisement.
8:02 bro was SCARED
"I have this UFO engine from Omacron Persei 8"
"Let me just call my buddy, he's an expert on Omacron Personian space engines."
I love the old man’s slow clap. 😂
What gunsmith in his right mind would deactivate that desk?
The same gunsmith that would write an algorithm to give me this same rehashed video, no hate though still watched it again.
@TR-lt4xc facts bro I was thinking they didn’t even add anything new
The kind that wants to follow the law?
@xbon1 who would be breaking the law besides the pawn shop with no ffl?
@KurtOnoIRSelling a firearm to a pawn shop is not legally a private sale.
when you say illegal i imagine chris hansen walking in the pawn shop going "why dont you take a sit over here"
It’s always interesting how some historical artifacts are valuable but still illegal to trade.
Desk was for a show ,used as demo at furniture section of police station furnishing ,basically made small for easy transportation scale 1 to 2 ,to be shown at gun shows as desk for police chidf.
@rareblues78daddy sounds funny but when you had to carry 10 items at shows you had to reduce the size there was no uhaul back then so they had to come up with ideas,they built these for homes of accountants,lawyers,bank directors, city mayor, it was self defence.
Jokes on you. 1 desk was used by gnomes, and 5mm is deadly for gnomes.
That sucks that a college player had to sell his ring as soon as he got it.
4:08 the facts that the government can arrest you for not registering a desk gun from the early 1900s is insane!
6:35 notably does not have strings on it
That camera was not illegal at all. It is just that it COULD be trouble and the owner wanted way more money for it than what they would pay anyway.
German spy camera has "Made in Germany" written in English on it.
To be fair lots of countries do that. Look at any Swiss watch.
Not uncommon. The label was enforced by GB on german products to designate cheap stuff. Later turned into a quality mark.
I also have a japanese camera labeled Made in Japan and not in Kanji
Bruh every single item is labeled "Made in..."
Check your phone, watch, tv, fridge etc.
"Made in China" is basically chinese trademark at this point
If you spy in England, Canada, America or Australia, it looks less suspicious when it's English.
The worlds trading language is english.....
3:13 They sure do love flicking that little lever down, don't they? XD
I mean those can be fun and for people like me with ADHD these kind of trigger mechanisms would be a good fidget toy to help us stay focused
You know you’re no good at being a father when a guy named Chum-Lee is more likeable than your own son lol.
Also it seems like they both give dead fish handshakes 😖
This is crazy when you remember the case(s?) Chumlee got 🤣
@CantBanDaSnoMan IKR?!
5:50 "so ive never been here today" 😂
"If it's real will you shut up?" "Probably not."
Yeah, that's family for you.
Omg, the old man with the slow clap 🤣
“I have the knife that was used in Ancient Rome that killed Julius Caesar”
“Alright let me call my buddy Julius Caesar”
Guy eventually got just shy of 1200 for the Penn State ring at an auction.
Auction rules different than a pawn shop.
@GodwynDiyeah like the guy above said. There are rules a pawn shop has to follow or they get a fine/maybe shut down
3 generations of the same guys arguing😂
Why are all those TV pawn store people so obnoxious? Is that part of the job requirement?
@erikverhoef5718 It's part of the TV show requirement. Gotta have conflict or you don't have a show. 🤷♂
@erikverhoef5718 they're haggling all day, I guess they're tired of most people
americunt tv stuff
@lilyfurley9833 "wow I'm so edgy America bad right haha"
The guy selling the penn st ring tried selling a Braves ring in another clip and said hed never be back lol
It's all staged
Was that one "altered" as well
@ 20 :34. - the look on Ricks face as the old man claps is hilarious.
Turtle shell guy, it'll go to college fund, AKA black Jack tables 😂
'I hate my family.' Too. And yours.
15:07 this guy really cares 😂😂
Rings, regardless of engraving situation, are not illegal.
wow joe paterno was brought up in a positive nature. That dates this episode for sure.
He never did anything wrong. But anyways
@mikebryant8507 he covered for sandusky after being told multiple times. He did not report or do anything to stop the pedo. He absolutely did something wrong
@johnpederson4345 Actually he banned Sandusky from all the football facilities, ended the team's relationship with him, and reported it to the athletic director and University Police Chief and then those two conspired to cover it up.
Paterno was caught in the witch hunt for anybody who had so much as shaken Sanduskys hand over the course of the three decades he was there
@radman135and Joe paterno did nothing when they covered it up. He may have been a good man but he did nothing and evil prospered.
@johnpederson4345Yeah, everything you said here is completely wrong.
The old man slow clapping was peak! Hilarious!
I saw that shekal on display when I visited the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop in 2011
Anybody else think that gun desk was something used in a magic trick
That will be the last time that guys cleans any coin before trying to pawn it.
''I wanna sell my Ancient Alien Spaceship''
Aight lemme just have my Alien engineer look at it.🤣
Clapton should own the turtle guitar it gives a whole new meaning to slow hand.
"Legally deactivate the gun" meaning pay $300 to grind off the firing pin.....
Despite it's like a $10 labor work
But the paperwork
I bought a small desk like this before although it was more primitive style - it was a cash desk that a payroll clerk would have in the field to pay workers. This is the same size & type of my desk, and it would make sense to have a built in gun to prevent stealing the cash for payroll.
also it did not have a built in gun - just a drawer
That’s what I was thinking too.
Rick finnally got it right after 30 years in the coin business lol
That camera? McCord was CIA, then head of security for Nixon. I hope the dude didn't throw it away.
Wow... this is one of the best clips ever !
Billy Wil ner
How do you know this is old? The words "Joe Paterno" and "Penn State" are still mentioned in the same sentence 😂
If a guy comes in and says "I've never seen this before," he's not an expert. As was clearly the case with the gun desk. She should've taken that to a REAL expert. I've also been to that store, and it's neither all that big nor impressive. And everything is overpriced.
“But what my problem is…”
They’d say that if someone brought the Hope Diamond to them 😂
Well, to be fair, the Hope Diamond IS pretty famously cursed, lol.
@FormerChildProdigyfor real, that would be like someone coming in with a piece of the front bumper of James Dean's car
well tbf if someone brought the Hope to Rick he would surely have a huge problem with it because would meant it was stolen from the Smithsonian 😂
“I have a really rare item. Lemme just take it to the pawn shop to see what it’s worth!” 😃
My wife has 2 eagle feathers. She also can fish out of season. She also get money for doing nothing from the casinos.
Its good to be Native American.
And? Tons of ppl get money for doing nothing. It's called welfare. Many are afforded all kinds of "privileges" but we don't go around bragging that we were born white. Lol weird flex bragging that your wife is native American
I have native American bloodline, and get nothing
@ravenr876 you need to be at least 1/8 (.125) in order to be on a Native Role.
Check into it.
I get squat for being Italian/Polish American.
I understand that you have to jump through hoops to prove you are native American.
Native Americans have a high rate of alcohol abuse abuse, poverty, and unemployment than the general population... but, at least y'all got those eagle feathers 🪶😂
How do they know this coin was the stolen coin?
the gun desk isn't illegal, it's an AOW that requires a stamp if its modern.
"I...hate my family." I can definitely relate.
16.38 old man what are you gonna test it for jesus dna. Lmao
Jesus DNA
"I've been collecting guns and weapons since I was 10 years old" is what stroke me the most
I don't care what criticism this show gets, I love these guys and learning out this stuff
Tyre - sooo you're telling me there's a chance? 😂😂
The gun desk was used like a register or a point of sale and if anyone tried to Rob them they would hit the button to scare them
9:58 suddenly he knows EVERYTHING theres is to know about spycams
There's nothing illegal about a "spy" camera!
😂 Rick’s dad comment about “Test the coin for Jesus’s DNA” it’s hilarious!
We are crosschecking the coin with the Shroud of Turin...
OMG! That desk gun is too scary. it shoots deadly concealed gun bullets, only criminals have concealed guns that shoot illegal bullets, i feel faint, so incredibly deadly and scary and illegal
That's NOT a Tortise shell, it's a sea turtle shell.
Gun desk should have been in Red Dead Redemption 2. 😊
if the insurance co. pays for the loss, sometimes they then get the rights to the item if it is found. Like a stolen car. they pay the owner but if the vehicle is found later, it needs to be turned over to the insurance co as the owner... that may not have been the case here with the coin, but it can be the case in other instances...
Fun fact, was listening to this when I was playing EA College Football in the Orange Bowl when the Penn state ring walked in the door
Just watching that coin bit is just hilarious.😂
Gotta love the old man’s slow clap when they find out the shekel was real
That old guy be drinkin.
19:07 You’re telling me “the guy who originally lost the sheckle was compensated!!!” How tf did they track that original person down. Where did that compensation truly go?! O.o
"let me call my gun desk guy" 😭
He's my buddy. He'll be here in 5 minutes.
I love how hard they went at rick over that coin 😂 that’s a real crew right there.
Gun desk could be a station for salary pay with defence for possible disputes.
Why is it difficult to know the aim of the gun desk? If the man at the desk is threatened, he can shoot the unsuspecting aggressor by pressing the button on the desk.
4:56 ''towards my daughter's college'' lol naaah
"Towards my daughter's... college?"
Swear I said the same 😂😂😂
This is not a spy camera, I had one, I bought it in a store in Toronto, Canada in 1973, I bought it new, It was $125.00 CD. sold it few years ago on Ebay for $200 US. the problem with this camera is the film, nobody sell the film. When I bought it, they sold the film, but about 1987 I could no longer find the film.
Interesting that their "gun expert" thought that post 19th-century firearms need to be registered with the ATF. There is no such program for non-NFA items. It is also not illegal to own it or sell it in most States, and in many States no FFL transfer would be needed. A useless item for sure and not a legal issue in most places in the US.
Vegas would be one of those states with said requirement, would it not?
@SkullivanBones not sure about the laws in Nevada, but I don’t believe you need to transfer at an FFL for PRIVATE sales. Now selling it in a retail shop like this pawn shop would require someone on site to have a current FFL. Lastly, that gun desk isn’t an NFA item so there is no need for any type of “registration” with the ATF. The “gun expert” would know that if he were an actual expert and not an actor. The more I watch this show in reruns, the more I realize how it was almost entirely staged and fake.
On the Minox III, the serial number is inside the camera, whatever was etched outside was definitely not a serial number. Back in the day, it was common to etch your name and information on your camera, in case you lost it. A less damaging method was to use DYMO embossing tape. In the present case, I believe one Bill McCoad bought the camera from someone else, scratched the previous owner's info and etched his own.
I used to be a Minox camera dealer. I sold a lot of them. The problem with them is you had to send the film to Minox to get developed for no one had the machinery to developed and print the small film
I have the same camera in its original leather case. No scratches. I'm wondering what it's worth.
@JDski They are not worth much. I have no idea if Minox is still making film and developing it. DJI Osmos camera is a 1,000 times better and you can print the pictures with your own printer. You have a novelty item that is fun to play with. Quality of photos was not very good.
@jginmt I did research and put a note in the case with the camera back in the '90's of a place where I could still find film for it. It was expensive. $36 for 12 pictures plus $19 to develop it. That was back then. So I knew it was not an efficient camera to use even when you still could get film for it.
Some long nose guy clipped the f outta that coin 😂
That guy that inspect the guitar looks if John Wick got a shave
John Schick 😆😂
Woah did an insurance company actually do something to HELP?!
It’s not illegal. The gun desk, I mean. It falls under the same category of basic gunsmithing(like building your own AR). Under the United States constitution, it is classified as arms, and is, and should always be, therefore considered a legally attainable firearm. Firearms are not required to have a serial number for building, recreational use, or carry unless it is to be transferred via an FFL certificated facility. This is a completely LEGAL item for display, or use, however it cannot be transferred due to the lack of a serial number.
They still probably wouldn't buy it unless they knew someone would buy it off them. It's definitely a novelty, and could be bought and sold legally, but the expert gave his professional opinion. So Rick trusted him
Unless the entire gun mechanism is removed which only turns it into a plain desk which makes it no longer a firearm and no longer illegal.
@okamijubei Correct. Then the mechanism can be dismantled and each part sold piecemeal to the new owner, who can then rebuild the mechanism and reapply it to the desks structure. Although I strongly believe that it should be transferable as it sits, due to its lack of a serial number or manufacturer number, the only way to transfer it is private sale using word of mouth. Can’t even make formal posts about it or list it. The easiest thing to do would be to contact a museum to see if they’d be interested in it due to its potential historical significance as a relic from 19th and 20th century industry. Payroll Desks are historically relevant, and to my knowledge, they remain relatively scarce with very few surviving examples. So perhaps selling it to a Museum would be the only way to offload it that doesn’t require a lot of real footwork. But, like I said, our constitution should’ve guaranteed that we wouldn’t need to jump through *_ANY_* unnecessary hoops to buy or sell something like this. 😒.
The United States Constitution does not say a word about classifying firearms.
