Ep 4. The Spy Who Pawned Me

In this episode of Pawn Stars, titled "The Spy Who Pawned Me," the guys at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop are presented with a collection of spy-themed items. The owner of the collection is looking to sell some memorabilia from his father, who worked as a spy for the CIA during the Cold War.

Rick, the shop's owner, is immediately drawn to a rare book called "The Man Who Never Was," which was used as a technique by the British to deceive the Germans during World War II. However, since the book is in poor condition, Rick isn't sure if it's worth the $2,500 asking price.

Next up, a seller brings in an espionage camera, which appears to be a simple lighter but in fact secretly takes photographs. The guys find themselves split on the value of the item, with some thinking it's a rare and valuable piece of history while others argue that it's just a novelty item.

The third item presented is a set of spy-themed board games from the 1960s. The seller is asking for $200, but the guys are unsure if they can sell them for that price.

Finally, a customer brings in a Serbian military uniform from the 1990s, complete with medals and badges. The guys try to figure out if the uniform is authentic and if it has any historical significance.

Throughout the episode, the guys also chat about spy movies and whether or not the gadgets in the movies are based in reality. They discuss famous espionage cases and even take a look at some actual CIA gadgets used during the Cold War.

As always, there's plenty of negotiation and haggling over prices, and in the end, some of the items are sold while others are not. The guys offer historical context and interesting tidbits about each item, making for an entertaining and informative viewing experience.
