the soldier in the picture looks like a soul collector.
rob duncan interesting. What is that?
Old deguerotype pix are best.
I think he's still alive as I saw him in "Deliverance" with Burt Renolds. He was the guy pumping gas while the inbred savant played the banjo.
No cameras on 1762.
Was expecting a 10k offer but he was more generous than usual lol.
Same. You can tell he wanted that musket bad.
Because it's very easy to sell. So he can give nearly full price for it and sell it the next day for a profit. Some of the other stuff will lie around for a year.
Was probably worth $40k that's how Rick likes to lowball
@@richeyvalentine It's worth over $40k if the paperwork can be notarized, without that, it would be substantially less. But Rick knows people who know people, it would be way easier for him to get it notarized, compared to the seller.
It’s a filmed and staged show Vincent. Rick knows everything that’s going to happen and so does the paid actor and expert in this episode. The audience doesn’t know. That’s the difference.
You know that appraisal was under market value when Rick offers to pay the seller 100% of the appraisal
so the seller was spot on with his asking price... too bad these negotiations are staged and they already know the price beforehand...
expert said 15k - 20k rick knows he can push the item to 20k....
@@CarbiesChronicles your right it is staged but the prices are not discussed before hand thats the only part that isn’t scripted
I have an exact same Grice as this one I brought it from a country shop in the Wales UK when one day I was attempting to buy a new pair of work boots, I ended up walking out with a circa 1760s Brown Bess which I thought to be a bitsa. After a lot of research and 4 years later it turns out to be the real deal. Grice was a contractor in Birmingham England who made 500 of these but only 9 are still known. Valuing it is empossible in the UK because no one realises the significance of the Grice Brown Bess but it’s a really well made English Flint lock
This guy looks like butters from south park
Loo loo loo, I got some apples .....
Lol
Lmao
hahahah
AW GEE FELLERS
the expert:15k-20k
rick's offer:15k
seller:this is not enough
he looks like the type of guy that I would hate to see his browser history
lmao!
Haha
That's why people don't trust you why would you go throug someone's search history?
you're weird man
It would probably look a lot like your search history. A lot of gay porn and how to pick up guys at the gay bar...
If I found that thing I would never sell it, that’s a flipping piece of history that’s probably older than half of your family tree alone, and it looks beautiful too, just, selling it would be like commiting a huge crime.
Bite, pour, spit, tap, prime, fire. If you can do that 3 times a minute then Frenchie will run away and you can all be heroes.
My ancestors made great rifles, and kept it in the family.
William Grice
My ancestors created the first semi automatic rifle.The Mondragon rifle
Bill Grice Mexicans
Xavier Mondragon Man.... You'd be incorrect, sorry. Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher produced the first successful design for a semi-automatic rifle in 1885. It was called the Model 85.
My ancestors were Bakers
Bill Grice my ancestors invented the dinosaurs
He just likes saying musket
Cashier:$10.99 please
Rick: best I can do is $4
Cashier: this is McDonald's
Rick: there's just to much risk for me at that price
I love social studies and I'm actually learning a lot by this show. Been watching this because I love the history especially like the one with the Egyptian mask. 😁
I'm 90% certain this guy is actually a time traveler.
Tap loading is absolutely a myth.
Yes because a soldier wouldn’t be carrying a smaller caliber bullet by chance
@@theunincredibleplatypus7465 many soldiers at the time cast their own bullets, if they were planning on doing it they’d just cast smaller caliber ones
Very true.
It was proved that you could do it if you had to.
I learn alot from this show
I can't stand people like this who are selling something that's been in their family for generations. I just got off a video of a guy selling a 1763 flintlock pistol. I mean can you imagine who has touched that weapon? Same here and this guy wants to sell it to go buy something stupid. For all he truly knows George Washington might've held that weapon.
I searched and watched that clip. That pistol was just found in a box of granddads. (supposedly) If it was an heirloom, someone in their family should have known about it and kept it well. (and written it's history down) I have seen punk kids and drug addicts sell pieces of family history though. And sadly, my father's beautiful, ornate Damascus double barreled shotgun was stolen from us. As well as the rifles I learned to shoot with.
But it's not valuable to him because it was not his grand grand father who used it. It was a stranger.
Malcolm Reynolds I have a musket from the same era, the 1760s. It wasnt passed through the family, infact my great uncle found it in an old house but i would never sell it because it has seen action and has belonged to a soldier that died in battle. It is a piece of British and Irish history! (It was used to fight an irish rebellion in my home town)
+Malcolm Reynolds Its his gun, he has the right to do whatever he wants with it
Malcolm Reynolds you don’t know his situation though man, he may really need the money, that’s why people go to pawn shops
I love watching pawrn
This guy looks like he just rolled off a bar stool
Rick: So what do we have here?
Costumer: A 2013 $1 bill
Rick: I can give you .20 cents.
Costumer: I was thinking a $1
Rick: most I can give you is .40 cents and I'm taking a risk here.
"The thing is, I'm not sure what this 1 dollar bill is worth. Let me call in an expert."
There is a slight crease that brings down the value and it's gonna sit here for a few years .. so best I can do is 5cents and that's because I am a very good human being.
costum - er 🦸♂️. 🤣🤣
ill go .22
Lmfaoo
the guys who visit these shop are great fools,they eventually have a part of history and they wanna sell it for a dinner party
There actors brother
Erick Sanchez nah they’re real people who contact the show and are chose to come in and sell there item after signing waivers and what not, along with the people in the background browsing, they are people who line up outside the shop and are chose to look around and not look at cameras.
@@nikobelechekkix3312 not true on customers my wife and I walked right in and around the shop when filming was going on behind the counter I did not sign anything.
And yes these people are selling their pieces of history for chump change.
Better than cheap modi disciples
@@ErickSanchez-zb5mv I think you meant to type: They're actors, brother.
1:34
Rick trying really hard to hold in his pee
There are high end auction houses for rare & historic firearms. Why one would take a rare and storied firearm to a pawn shop is beyond understanding! 🤔
65 grand for a musket, that’s way too much😂
They got the same bracelet at the end when they shake hands
Similar...
I can give you a hundred bucks and a pack of JUICY FRUIT. THAT'S THE BEST I CAN DO
I love the 'photo' of the revolutionary soldier. Man this History Channel has fallen apart.
Brian Whitehead it is a photo, it just wasn't taken during the revolution. There are lots of photos of revolutionary war soldiers since many lived up to the 1850s and 1860s when photography was more widespread. Learn some history before you go around doubting things
He's clearly an old man in the photo
Brian Whitehead that man looked well into his 80’s. If he was say 18 in 1783, then he would be 80 in 1845. The first photograph was taken in 1816.
Looking at the photo's quality the type of camera that took the picture was a calotype those came about in 1840 so yes, no doubt this picture is genuine.
I will truly never understand why people like this guy would sell a piece of history to make a quick buck. I have an m1 grand from WW2 and I'm never going to sell it unless i need the money for an emergency. Whatever that may be
The final comments tell me he ignored everything told him about provenance
Que arma linda. Imaginem o projeto para desenvolver um equipamento desse. E o maquinário? Tenho muita curiosidade para conhecer.
think that was one of the most fairest prices i've ever seen rick give considering the value is 15k - 20k would of just took it.
You know pawn stars isn`t real right? It wasn`t even the guys musket.
@@UrielX1212 and a myth gets spread
I can give you a hundred bucks...
Ummm, what?!?! Rick offered 15k. LOL
Mr Brown got along famously with that musket.
@1:35 😂😂
The ball might fall out of the barrel.. Or the barrel might well explode if the round is not seated correctly
How does that make sense? If the ball rolls down so it’s flat on the powder. The force of the discharge will have a easier time sending the ball out
Rick probably tells his experts to shave off thousands of dollars off the price it's actually worth, before they come in the store.
I doubt it. Only a small portion of their annual income, comes from this show. If they go on national tv giving shit valuations, they're going to destroy their reputation. And ruin their business as reputations can take yrs to establish in their field.
kane Poe ???
that's ridiculous. if that happened, they would've been called out a loooong time ago. personal, sentimental value isn't a fixed price. everybody needs to play within a realistic ball park
Probably does happen in some cases but experts have to build and keep credibility so if they are on the take they would get exposed eventually so its really not worth it to stain your reputation.
Yeah but you can fairly easily fact check whatever price an expert gives on the show. You can look up Brown Bess rifles and see the price range he gave is accurate.
Try out it out on your melon Rick😂
We just not there.
Yes the history is there......IF YOU CAN PROVE IT.
smart move man, you could get up to 50k for it
lmao no way
Smart man I would of walked away too.
Thank God, the owner didn't sell it to Rick!
1:23 Holy Moley take a look at those boots...
The guy talking about how they loaded it without rammer is completely inaccurate.There are only a handful of accounts of them loading and slamming the butt of the musket on the ground. And even they said in those accounts that it was thought improper use and led to the breaking of the musket
Which is why he said in "emergencies"
Strasburg57812 that made me mad too
He said in emergencies then kind of contradicted himself by saying they used a smaller ball..... I'm sorry but I just don't see soldiers carrying emergency balls in a smaller calibre "just incase".
+Wet Lettuce The standard service cartridges always used small balls. For example: a Brown Bess has a .75 calibre bore, but the standard military cartridges contained .69 calibre balls.
ironmatic 1 i'm not sure if that's true, but let's assume it is. In the video the guy said that in emergencies they would use a smaller musketball. However, if what you say is true then they would always be using a smaller Muskett ball, not just in emergencies. Because of this, the guy you responded to was right.
The seller looks like Butter from South Park
Have you noticed that he always asks the seller what he would like for it before he calls the expert.
I would most definitely agree with you on that 😆😆😆😹😹😂😂🤣🤣🤣😜😜😜😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
Grice, 1762, is what Pedersoli mistakingly puts on their Brown Bess locks. A real Bess will have nothing, or Tower there. The thing’s a repro that’s been aged, worth, in that condition, a few hundred dollars.
15k was a fair offer
Jonny Bravo
He did the right thing by backing out.
15,000 dollar's? Sold! Belongs in a museum anyway.
this musket belongs in a museum and should be auctioned off to people should raise alot of money to seller
Rick reminds kind of "70s show Red"
I would gladly pay a crap ton more than $15,000 for a piece of American History like that.
cos you've never seen 15k lol
15k for a musket sounds like a deal
Glad to see someone finally put their foot down to this con artist.
No Craig?
sometimes greed comes to play
That guy looks like one of those Spy Kids Thumb-Thumbs
If Im asking for a certain amount, and the appraiser says something way below that, You can just start walking out the store and say have a nice day because you are not toing to get above that amount
Lots of these things are brought in not intended to be sold
Rick and the seller are wearing the same bracelet
I can see rick crying that the collection is now 5 mil
No ramrod? Ball rolling out the barrel? You've got to be kidding me...
I like to have my face blown off.
@@tankerspam5884 that only would have happened if the Barrel was unkept. If anything no wadding and rammer will put less stress on the barrel
I WANT THE BROWNBESS
HBC is quaking right now
He thought it was a low offer? When has rick ever made a semi decent offer😂
Blake Smith Cool story bro!
But did he died?
21 savage said he wants his strap back
With a notarized document it still is just a story. Having a legal document saying that it's true isn't going to make it true if it isn't.
i have no idea... let me call my guy
Slam loading Brown Bess.
I don't think I've ever seen Rick offer what the expert said it was worth.
Do it
If you want a good price for something, never take it to a pawnshop.
Ah yes another seller who thinks they have the mona lisa
Am I the only one that realized Rich's reaction at 1:14? I believe Rich straight up offered $15,000 because he noticed "his" expert was interested.
Saul Munguia who is Rich?
Chum could afford 250k, he should buy them lol.
No stick'em up
Rick seriously has too many friends...
Veeder looks like the puppet from SAW?😳
Jman👀
Owen Wilson and his musket
Please enable and add Persian subtitles
Eat the Musket
If he would've sold it for that low, being that he only needs a little bit more proof, I would've been so mad.
Where is greg?
The seller looked like a younger Rick with bleach blonde hair
Dude's obviously been dry firing the lock with no flint in it... bad for the jaw!
Ram rod
For once he actually gave a good offer...
Expert: you need paperwork to prove it.
Seller: I have that right here.
Expert: yeah well, but, I know you showed me exactly what I said you needed, but I need more all of a sudden so rick can rip you off and pay me
Thats Butters from South Park grown up.
Just another old rifle without those verified papers. Nice old piece though...
I can't begin to imagine the type of modern weapons you could purchase with $15k...
Uninteresting boring weapons with no history...
You can have your interesting history.
Until I can afford to buy it, I'll outgun that historical piece about 70 times before you can load yours.
With 15k, you can have about 8 fully loaded AR15 platform weapons, 6 AR10's, 3 SCAR-H, 2 .50BMG Semi Automatics...10 Remington 700's...6 AK47s...I think you get the point.
Matthias Schwalbach I have modern guns, but i live in the UK so other than target shooting or hunting they're never going to be used for anything else. Old guns such as this are unlicensed so are a better investment, i could buy a brand new gun but it will depreciate fast, something like this will only ever go up in value
In today's day, weapons are at an all time high.
If history is what your after, cool. I love history.
But comparing sacramental value into function is difficult.
I'd rather spend first on function, second on investment, and last in sentimental
you can barely own a knife in the uk
This guys had a run in with Chris Hansen before
I tell Y’all, one day a man gonna go in that shop and will say...
“Hey, do you wanna buy my scwherer gustav?”
And Rick would say,"I'd take it off your hands,but my warehouse is full of stuff like that!"
And Rick would say'"I'd take it off your hands,but my warehouse is FULL of stuff like that!"
Guess you could say he stuck to his guns.....I’m gonna go
How many muskets can be made in one month back in the 1700s
So go get a notarized statement.
that was actually a surprisingly good offer from rick.
