@@luke.sorensen that would be a pretty genius move on his behalf, I bet he's sitting in a mansion now after selling it to some Russian collector hahaha
I'm sure Russian historians would have paid top dollar to have it back in their country, displayed in a museum especially knowing it was owned by Russian royalty
I doubt that old Russian tsar nobility is still very revered. I'm not Russian nor have I been there but I'd imagine that would have been stomped out by the Bolsheviks and not revived by the newer ruling classes.
@@BinbrookPaintball Russia has had many different reigning monarchs in the history of Russia. It includes the titles Prince of 0 Moscow, Czar of All Rus' (Russia), and Emperor of All Russia. The list begins with the semi-legendary Rurik, Prince of Novgorod, sometime in the mid 9th century (c. 862) and ends with the Emperor of All Russia Nicholas II who abdicated in 1917, and was executed with his family in 1918.

Unfortunately true - many today have no sense of heritage or history. My collections are being given to friends who care about such things and think they have more than cash value.
What is he supposed go to battle with it? It's not a family heirloom. His grandfather thought he saw a bargain and bought it. He knew it was valuable so he willed to his grandson. Should he make a shrine and pray to it?
Yeah but it's not like a family heirloom. His grandfather bought it cause he thought it was cool and passed it down probably knowing his grandson wasn't a sword collector. Its like when my mother inherited a very expensive tea set from my great grandmother and we sold it cause we have bills to pay. No point in keeping stuff you don't have a use for and most grandparents know this.
I think that largely depends on your finances too. I mean 100k Dollars should be top foundation for your own House, so If i had to choose between being able to keep answord or to own a House, i'd definitely go for the latter
I'd you wouldn't buy it for 80k why not sell it? If his grandfather was Russian royalty it would be different but this was just something he bought in his life.
The steel quality isn't in the dialogue of course, Russian saber or sth else,; today any of an expert bladesmith can make much better quality sword easily, because of much better steels and more modern methods, but historical value of this sword is sth else
After binge watching the show, I feel like a lot of ppl just bring stuff on to do that or to verify a item like Houdini’s jacket and Jimi Hendrix’s guitar
@@whygodwhy1388 yeah same. I feel like half the time they don't even actually "buy" the items, the whole haggling on price is just a script. I mean c'mon it's a pawn shop not a museum lol.
That sword is unbelievable, I would never sell it unless I urgently needed the money and kept it in the family and passed it on to my grandkids like grandpa passed to him.
I thought about that too, but it's not like it's a family heirloom and they were related to the prince... or to Napoleon... It's just the historical artifact that was purchased so it doesn't really have a significant family value... his grandfather simply bought it at an auction
This is the saddest part about all this. People cherish relics from the past with love and pass them down generation after generation, only for some crack addict to sell it for peanuts at a pawn shop. Shame on them.
@@erasmoluisfernandezroman981 Yes but what practical use is a Russian prince's sword dating from the Napoleonic Wars is to some guy who has no idea how to take care of old heirlooms like that. Things like this sword need proper care and maintenance, not just sit in some basement where it will erode away and eventually forgotten. It is actually better for the sword to have been sold for top dollar to a collector who knows how to take care of antiquities rather that somebody who clearly has no idea what to do with it.
Finally someone with sense at the end. Instead of accepting the ludicrous lowballs the pawn stars offer he instead takes his ultra valuable, one-of-a-kind item to the right auction. It's sad to see so many not do this when they could easily get more money than what they're offered here even after all the fees and costs.
if he had sense he wouldn’t have gone to a pawn shop. these guys are actually really fair. most pawn shops only purchase for 10-20% of its market value.
This is the only person I have seen on this show that when finding out their item has great historical value does the best thing in walking away to find the best auction house to sell his not only historically valuable, but massively monetarily valuable one as well. If he can find the right auction for this he will gain an incredible windfall for it. I would have an auction house in England do it since it would be far closer to European collectors, as well as Russian collectors too. But I am sure he will take his time to find the right one as he didn't seem to be in a rush to sell it, unlike most people seem to be when they walk into their shop.
@@scorpioninpink I was thinking the same thing about those two auction houses, they have been around for many years, but there is one other one that would be great too... unfortunately their name eludes at the moment. 😶
3:09 In Arabic it says "from works of Assadallah". Giving it have the right damascus pattern and the right curve tells me it's genuine Assadallah work. The blade alone without the handle and the scrapped would worth 25,000 usd. It worth that much without considering that it belongs to a Russian prince which will of course increase the price. If he can proof that sword participate in an actual battle and the prince has died while holding the sword it will significantly increase the price. The seller have a lot of work do and he probably have to hire a well known expert to investigate more so he can certificate the sword. If he does it right it will exceed the 200,000 usd easily
@@garymah7716 The writing is in Arabic but Assadallah was a Persian sword smith from Isfahan. The seller have a legit treasure if he knows what he is doing.
Offering 20 grand and trying to use the “it was already sold in an open market” was cheapest thing to ever say, it means nothing that it was sold in a market already, it’s unique piece that has amazing history.

Someone else said he sold it at an auction for $103,000 dollars.
Wow what a masterpiece it is beautiful sword 🔥
This can sell at auctions from between 75k to 100k. “Il give you 20k” bruh
Love watching chum sell stuff
Update: it recently sold for 1.2 million.
where? is there a link? Than you..
Where
Any source?
Napoleon's sword sold for that price, not this one.
Yeah I just brought it.🤣🤣🤣
In real life only idiots fall for "if you hangout for a little I'll call MY friend who's an expert to check it out".
I would never want to make a deal with Chum. He's just a scared and clulessguy.
Not gonna lie, this was one of the most impressive items that was put on the show.
I love when the sellers don’t let themselves get talked down
Honestly If I had a sword like this no matter my finances I would never sell it, that is history
Ya then as you live poor your child sells it and gets a hot car to crash next week. Wisdom at its height. Whatever you do don’t sell a chunk of steel…. Bow down in front of it and say the magic words!!
If i found out I had something historical like that I would never sell it
Even tho I wouldn't want to, I'm broke so I would have to sell it if I owned it
The Arabic sword is considered one of the best sword in the world. I'm glad he didn't sold it for even it's 40k..
Chum should have hollered for Rick to hear that appraisal before low balling the guy.
For $ 10,000 you can make an exact copy
The sword is insane. If I was wealthy enough I’d be willing to pay like 60k so he definitely made the right choice.
This sword easily has +1337 to Attack Rating.
"he wouldn't mind if i sold it for personal gain". If he wouldn't mind he would have just sold it instead of passing it down to you..
4:35 that long sssss , guess the customer felt like getting slayed by it !
1:29 "What are you looking to do with it?"
"I'm hoping to run around your shop in a crazed beserker rampage, laying waste to as many people as possible".
and I thought Rick was the worst negotiator 😂
How’s it going rick?
You think Rick has anything to do with this channel? 😂🙄
@@nevg5908 he does... he sometimes answers the comments
I LAUGHED FOR 10 MINUTES WHEN CHUM OFFERED HIM 20K!!!!!!!!! Making friends with Ricks son was the luckiest and only good decision that guy ever made lol
These dude planned this ahead of time.. Take it to the show, knew he would get low balled and get an expert appraisal and leave with all the info, 👍👍👍
