In season 2 episode 22 of Pawn Stars, titled "Trail Breaker," the Harrison family and their team of experts encounter an eclectic mix of customers with unique items. The episode begins with Rick and Corey meeting a seller who has a Colt .45 pistol that he believes belonged to the legendary outlaw Jesse James. The seller's evidence includes a note from the 1940s that mentions the gun's historical significance, but Rick isn't convinced. He asks his firearms expert, Sean, to examine the pistol and verify its authenticity. Meanwhile, Chumlee assists a woman who inherited a collection of antique syringes from her grandfather. The customer hopes to sell the unusual medical instruments, but Chumlee learns that the market for antique syringes is limited.
Later in the episode, Rick and his father, the Old Man, meet a seller who claims to have an original work by the famous artist Pablo Picasso. The seller presents a painting of a woman that he purchased at a thrift store for only a few dollars. Rick is skeptical, but he calls in his art appraiser, Brett, to take a look. Brett is impressed by the painting's authenticity but notes that it is a lesser known work by Picasso and therefore has a lower value than some of his more famous pieces.
Meanwhile, Chumlee has his hands full with a customer who wants to sell a vintage Indian motorcycle. Chumlee knows that Indian motorcycles are highly collectible, but he isn't sure what the bike is worth in its current condition. He calls in his motorcycle expert, Danny, to take a closer look at the bike and determine its value. Danny notes that the bike is missing some key components, which will lower its price, but he still thinks it's worth a decent amount.
In the final segment of the episode, the Harrison family meets a seller who has an unusual artifact: a saddle used by the famous cowboy Tom Mix. The saddle is worn and weathered, but the seller believes it has significant historical value. Rick calls in his expert, Mark, to examine the saddle and verify its authenticity. Mark confirms that it is indeed a genuine Tom Mix saddle, and he notes that it is in surprisingly good condition considering its age. The Harrisons and the seller negotiate a price, and a deal is struck.
Overall, "Trail Breaker" is a typical episode of Pawn Stars, featuring a mix of historical artifacts, collectible items, and questionable antiques. The Harrisons and their team of experts are always on the lookout for hidden gems, and this episode showcases their expertise and knowledge.
