Ep 19. Son of a Gun

In season 11 episode 19 of Pawn Stars, titled "Son of a Gun," the team at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop are presented with a diverse range of unique items, each with their own fascinating backstory.

The episode kicks off with Corey and Chumlee examining an antique Derringer pistol that belonged to James Butler Hickok, famously known as "Wild Bill." The seller claims the pistol was used by Wild Bill in his final poker game, right before he was fatally shot in the back of the head. Corey and Chumlee are skeptical of the story, but they call in an expert to authenticate the firearm.

As the day goes on, the crew encounters other interesting items, including a rare vibrating belt exercise machine from the 1920s, a collection of vintage Disneyland memorabilia, and an antique skipjack sailboat. The sailboat catches the eye of Rick, who has a passion for nautical history. He examines the vessel, which is over a century old and still seaworthy, and considers the possibility of adding it to his personal collection.

Elsewhere in the shop, a man brings in a custom gun made by a famous naval gunsmith. The gun features intricate designs and is said to have been used in the Civil War. Rick is intrigued by the piece and calls in an expert to determine its value.

The final item of the day is a vintage toy gun collection, complete with cowboy hats and holsters. The collection was owned by a famous Hollywood stuntman and has been passed down through generations. Corey and Chumlee have a bit of fun playing with the toys, but Rick reminds them that they need to focus on determining the value of the collection.

Throughout the episode, the Pawn Stars crew rely on their expertise and the insights of various experts to make informed decisions on each item that comes through their doors. "Son of a Gun" is an exciting and entertaining episode that showcases the unique and eclectic nature of the pawn shop business.
