Moro Kris on Pawn Stars TV show

Yeah, I think he took a real flyer on that piece expecting to reap $300 .

I watch the series on a regular basis. My wife hates it and mentioned that this show is really an antique show for rednecks". Not a very nice thing to say but.....well, pretty true. The show really represents an American flavour as there are always guns on the show as well as a desire to fire the guns bought by the pawnshop.

Others who attend the local gunshow say that much of what you see is really set up by the producers to make the show interesting and that the Chumly guy is really an actor. Whatever

It's a better waste of time then watching Cosmo Channel.

The Pawn Stars is staged, in a pretty obvious way. It is entertaining, though. Saw a couple of episodes, but couldn't stand that fat kid. He's just annoying.

Kris. Pawn Stars.

Anyway it's about Pawn Stars and a particular Moro sword, which makes it relevant to this forum. Let's stick to the topic.

Dmitry, you had a bad experience with one set of "experts". If there was another problem on the show in the past with some other arms appraisers it would seem that it ran it's course and their scam was revealed. You have made an accusation of suspected shilling for which you have no proof. Even if this were the case this does not translate into "many, if not most" &*% experts being scam artists. I am not surprised however that their "experts" are not well versed on every kind of edged weapon or firearm that crosses their path, but i see no malice in that. It is to be expected. It should also be noted the the vast majority of what shows up on the show is NOT weapons related at all and that many of the folks that show up have no intention of selling their "treasures" so i hardly think that dealers are "filling the catalogs for the auctions they run" from this show.
This discussion is now waaaaay off topic. I strongly suggest it ends here and we get back to discussing this kris. If you have an axe to grind i would suggest you do it elsewhere.

The proverbial American fear of getting sued. Why not delete my posts? That'd be the easiest way to remedy this, I think, and totally understood.

This is really getting out of hand here. Dimitry the forum is not a sounding board for bashing establisments that you may have had an unpleasant experience with. In the future if you have a gripe against certain appraisers or auction houses please use the PM option. I have deleted all references to the said show. Please stick to the topic of the kris.

Thanks
