+RICK HARRISON lol
He prob sell it online in a week.

Julio Lopez haha that's funny
I'm gonna need to be able to sell her
Females just aren’t that rare
Andy Young haha
Let me get someone down here to check her out
Expert: It's worth about 13k
Random Guy: It's worth more
+Mumzly04
Rick: I'll give you 200 bucks for it...
ha!
+DAGATHire
"It'll be a tough sell. The market isn't there...plus, it's gonna sit for awhile. I have overhead to pay".
It depends where your at or the time your in on what it's worth. Some days are expensive, others are cheap
The "expert" says so but the Wallace collection would probably pay much more.
i'd still prefer rune 2h
Thats my man.
dubochain I was searching for this comment ❤️
Dragon 2h all day
I'll AGS spec u m8
dubochain I'm more of a dragon lance guy
Imagine if this sword could speak and imagine how many amazing stories it would could tell
Diablo Intercept ikr
Lmao talking like u high😂😂
"I sat against a wall for a few hundred years. One time i was on the battlefield and my owner died because I am poorly designed."
"Yeah man, back in my day I sliced a couple of dicks off"
the HISTORICAL SWORD remind us... The Honor of every lives. Can kill lives.. also can Preserve lives... FOR THE HONOR FOR EVERY NATION.
Craig: has looked at the sword for several minutes
Rick: “I want you to look at it”
Bouzsi 😂
He's selling it because he doesn't have 75 attack.
Avandix is wow all these rs nerds
I just got 75 attk and ags on my pure tonight ;)
0:34 he pronounces "Zweihänder" perfectly
he speaks pretty good German, usually.
@@HandOfMe , his name even looks German. If this was the anime / manga Bleach, the sword would have spoken to him.
"It's worth a lot more" oh I forgot an expert had to come in because you know nothing about your own item
Isn't the point of the expert to guarantee the deal is solid for the buyer rather than the seller? For all we know, the seller could know more than the expert, but that doesn't mean the buyer doesn't want to verify the seller's claims. Not saying that's necessarily what's happening here, but you shouldn't rule it out.
I love how when the seller said "It's worth a lot more." the so called "expert" instantly backs down on his claims and goes on the defensive and says something along the lines "It could be a lot more." for an expert to give an opinion he seems really unsure about it's price, not that historians are even trained in selling weapons..
invalid name he said it could be because when it's sold at auction people set the price. If two people really want it then they can go as high as 30k.
I have the feeling the experts often tend to price items more conservatively if they are advising the buyer, not the seller.
That does not need to be trying to lowball the seller. You need to consider that they are advising a person who wants to resell the item and not collect it. Their job is to make shure that the buyer will be able to resell the item in a reasonable time and make a reasonable profit on it. If they evaluate an item too optimistically, the buyer will end up paying more for it and has a much higher chance to sit on it for a while in order to make a good profit of it, or will be required to sell it for a tiny profit to get a quick sale.
And since the experts usually get paid for an evaluation, they want their customer to be happy with their advise or they will not get called in again.
I know, it's a TV show, but this is also how it works in the real world.
he was comparing it to the last one that sold. what do you expect from him lmao.
the seller looked like the guy at the store who picks a fight with his wife...
then gives her a back hand at home after she didn't put just the right amount of mayo on his sandwich
Is this sword +15?
Nah , it does not glow, probably its not even masterworked yet.
Leonardo da vinci dark souls reference?
lineage reference?
Leonardo da vinci Nah bro it's +5, you know black knight weapons use twinkling titanite. 😉😂 Casul mistake man.
Chandler Preston
😂😂😂
Why the fuck would you take something so rare and valuable to a pawn shop?
Unless you've got a serious heroin addiction, there is no reason to pawn anything off.
like most people, he just wanted to be on TV.
+AlexCoronaPhoto He might want to use the TV show to authenticate his work. Then sell it on Ebay at his best price.
+AlexCoronaPhoto advertizing it to other potential buyers
Cunning...
well if you need money... that's probbably why it's not hard is it really
-"You can leave now"
I laughed so hard
that gentleman with the sword has been appraised many times by Craig and being the professional he is, quotes a correct/accurate price based on the market for said items. EVERYTIME he is quoted he says "that is way too low!" Craig is an expert and has such vast knowledge. I would not even begin to negotiate with that man when he consistently wants the price that he sets no matter what the upraisers say.
+aph3xed ikr that guy is an a$$
+aph3xed Cos the guy usually pays ALOT more for the swords than this guy values them at.
lol - that's exactly what I felt about it. I was going to make a similar comment, but you got there first :)
Craig doesn’t look like the sort of person I would trust looks like a little weasel 😊
Letz me call my friend wo is an expert for das Germen swords. JAAAA! JAAAA! Bring in das Frau mit die Schnaps und Beer!
+1337fraggzb00N Auslender raus!
***** y u do dis, Dolan
Ä= ae , Ü= ue!! Damit ihr es auch einmal versteht !
Vielleicht ist er Metzger und mag keine fremden Lenden :O
Ich möchte eine freunde
i like the not-so-friendly friendly rivalry you two have. it's great.
It's worth approximately $13,000.
OK cool well the best I could do for is about 300
Classic pawn shop....
Idk Rick it looks fake
It's going to sit around for months!!
he treated you like crap
What an awesome and interesting piece..thanks for the lesson Craig!
This sword was used primarily by German mercenaries who wanted to cut the heads of pikes off which were very popular during the late medieval and early modern period.
Yup, even Spain which had the best land armies of the era, the vaunted "tercios" usted German mercenaries, those were undisciplined, troublesome and no very reliable but absolutely fearless and quite efective when used properly, and yes, many of them favored oversized swords and dressed on very colorful clotthing, they dared the enemy to attack them, crazy mofos.
"It's worth a lot more."
- That guy every single time
*You Can Leave Now*
felt that
Yeah... If I could afford it I would definitely hang a genuine 17th century German Zweihänder on my wall! Much cooler than any poster or painting!
That was rude (you can leave now ) jesus
Bicente Baez that guy came off as a prick
That dude is a regular in the shop and they have had previous interactions before this was a friendly thing
A Zweilhander? Darksouls?
Craig is the man ! I love when he comes in to give his advise,,,, a very knowledgeable man,,, 😁🖒
the history side of pawn stars is amazing. I love the experts.
Rick “I’m taking all the risk” Harrison
"Uhhhh....I'll give you a half-eaten sandwich from Subway, a $2 scratch ticket and a coupon good for one free DQ blizzard......WITH the purchase of another blizzard of equal or lesser value."
"And I'm really takin a shot with this one"
Striker42Six I assume the ticket is already scratched.
“There’s an earthquake happening!! Everyone get down!!!!”
This guy; “ I disagree”
I love when these two are on here
"roughly perfectly balanced" 😞
Yeah, thats a bit of an odd statement. It is perfectly balanced and holding it with 2 hands you actually put 1 hand above the guard and 1 under.
Thanos would not buy this, only perfect balance is acceptable!
THE LEGEND NEVER DIES
God that thing is awesome. Great craftsmanship for something close to 400 years old.
I would not sell a zweihander like that, holy hell. That's something I'd pass on to my children.
That swords fucking huge lol. But if I had a man cave that's the last thing I'd want drunk buddies picking up lmao.
Hahaha yeah, it would go in a locked glass case. Don't need any drunks picking it up and swinging it around lol
Literal cringe when no one is wearing gloves and everyone is touching the blade. Christ, I hope they at least oiled it afterwards.
M.E. YA4P You can't damage its a sword just from touching it. The thing is from the 1600s do you really it would of lasted all these hundreds of years???
You know nothing about swords... only way to last 400 years is to be incredibly well kept, oiled once a month and never touched with bare hands unless oiled afterwards... If they are so casual, I can only conclude the blade is bad ass but a FAKE non the less.
Exactly, all exposed steel will want to rust. Touching any exposed steel, such as your blade, with your bare hands will leave oils and salts that will eat their way into your blade and eventually leave pits. Wooden handles can be treated with a light coating of lemon oil or tung oil to help prevent cracking. Blades must be protected from moisture at all times
hopefully it had Renaissance wax on it
I like the fake customers at the back in every episode
That is a "Flamberge" or "Bidenhänder", used by Landsknechte, who were named "Doppelsöldner", double Soldiers, who fought in the 30-Year War in first Front - they got the double payment.
In Germany, Originals are available from 4000,- Euro to 8000,-
im gonna buy a $13000 + sword for my man cave lmfao
let's put it right next to the 20k neon sign
why not when you can chop off some buzzing mosquitos in cave with this sword :P
Why don't you shove it up your man cave?
expert: its worth 1 million dollars .
rick: I can take 2500 $ im taking all the risk
Craig is so funny lol he’s like “it’s just so cool, I feel so powerful!” Hahaha
Craig is my favorite expert.
“Balanced, as all things should be”
Damn I want one. I had 5 years in Germany in the US Army. I would have loved to leave with a SWORD like this!
Stronghold crusader in back playin at the start , some sounds from that
Craig : the cool, calm, and courteous expert. As for that seller...
This expert is like a real life bobs burger character
Steel 2h sword is 1.5k in g.e
This is an ags worth around 30m at the grand exchange
Val Heart i was thinking it looked like the OS god swords lol
[[ I admire how when he didn't shake your had at first, your face did not fall. I am happy to see a second later, he shook your hand. ]]
He said "you can leave now". 😂😂😂
3:05 Oo did he tell him you Can leave now !!!?
Keep in mind these “specialists” are brought in to help out the shop not the seller
pedro guajardo the shop is real but the negotiations are fake so the experts are purely for entertainment and televisions sake
the experts are actually picked out by the history channel and not the pawn shop
He was geeking over that sword😂
This Guy is So Passionated
This is what we like to call, the deluded customer.. they think their stuff is far more expensive then it really is.. Craig, you need your own History Channel Series, I'd love to watch that..
Sell it in the EU and get some money! We want our herritage back XD
You, Mark, and Rebecca are the most likable experts.
You can even see that the Gold engravings of "base cannon" are still intact on the side.
Lop off pole-axe tops? Doubtful.
+Sparrowhawk he said Polaks
You never go to the pawn shop for something like that! Thats stuipd! You go to an auctioneer, and a reputable one at that.
So1othurn exactly. It's like bringing a diamond to a second hand store...
The second a seller argues with the expert, you know a deal ain’t happening.
"You can leave now!"
"Yes I have this club that Cane used to beat Abel with. It dates back to roughly 2000BC. I would like $800,600 for it."
"Yeah...let me call in a friend of mine. He was there to witness the beating, so he'll be able to tell us if it's legit"
Average GERMAN made two handed swords were no wheres near 15 pounds in weight, that's fucking ridiculous. A real two handed zweihander would way no more than 6 pounds at the most, high quality ones made by excellent weapon smiths would typically be in the range of 3-4 pounds with a longsword being 2.4-3.4 pounds.
eh I say 6-9 pounds because there are some real big ones 6ft long or a bit longer,and tbh 8 lbs sword that is very long and well balanced isn't all that heavy
I saw one on e bay that only weighed 8 ounces.
I am thinking given how late this sword was made, and how wide the blade is and how thick the blade is, it is most likely a very well made, solid "bearing sword" to be carried in a parade or simply kept as a decoration. The guy who said it was used in battle is probably wrong. I don't think a lot of swords we have left with us today were used in battle. I am not saying it should be broken or look like shit, but you should see some tell tale signs of use. Dents on the side rings of the guard, knicks in the edge, scrapes along the flat of the blade near the hand. Gorgeous sword, properly made in Solingen, probably use-ABLE but used in battle? Doubt it. And "lopping off poleaxe heads" oh please.
Sparrowhawk You're right in the fact this sword most likely never saw combat since matchlock muskets/arquebus and pikes were the order of the day in early 17th century Europe. However I would mention that you can still get swords that have been to war but those will be cavalry sabres and officers swords both of which were used right up to WW1
Rozzok something weighing that light would be trash and easy to destroy honestly. Considering a good sword for me is 4 inches thick with a weight of 25-35 pounds so it can pack a heavy and deadly blow to kill enemies. But you know I guess for back then light was relevant and ok...
My favorite part of the show is the experts history on the random items. Real or not it's still cool looking at these weird items
+Sam Brentwood They are wrong quite often. This guy was wrong in almost everything he said. From saying those swords were used in the frontlines of battles, to saying they would cut heads and legs like it was nothing, he was wrong in everything.
+Lino Silva and you said this on his own youtube channel...
+Lino Silva Well, he's not entirely wrong. It _was_ on occasion used on the front lines of battles- there are contemporary sketches from the Renaissance period depicting this particular usage of the weapon, such as at the Battle of Kappel in 1548, and accounts of mercenary companies with entire armies of multiple thousands of men wielding the weapons (if those thousands weren't used on the front lines, I'd be happy to know what purpose they served, considering swords are useless at long distance). There were multiple other roles for the sword that he doesn't touch on at all, however, thereby misrepresenting it. Halfswording, for one, which was exactly what you did with it after you were finished displacing pole weapons to close distance.
That it could cut heads and legs off like melting through a stick of margarine, of course, is amusing and wrong, as was his remark about "the cavalry" patiently stationed behind the Doppelsöldner, which I don't recall ever seeing or reading in any historical texts.
Rick: so where did you get this.
Guy: I killed saradomin and forged all the pieces my self
17 th. Century two hander. I call bs
Why?
hardcore pawn is much better
Brian Wenhold it's fake as fuck
Yeah if you like watching poor black people...and crap items
This us real pawn stars not fake shit
"This sword is worth at least $13,000."
Rick: "Best I can do is $30."
Wait you are from battlefield recovery!!!! I love that show
This is such bullshit. Firstly, this is a Zweihander, not even close to a broadsword. Second, it wasn't used against cavalry, only against Pike formations. It should weigh around 8 pounds, not 14. Does he know anything about these weapons?
Halloween Hype
it was used against both cavalry, polearms & to defense of musketeers or castlegates
Lilith Morrígan Yeh cause your the expert right idiot shut up and make me some Sandwiches
It was part of a Halloween costume
I use it as a tooth pick, works great
Casually cutting my sandwich with one of them
That is a nice AP!
Just look at Craig's face when he lifts the sword.
I think I've seen Craig blink twice in everything I've seen him in combined
when you go to a pawn shop you should know that the shop is only gonna give you max 50 to 60% of what they might be able to get for it. This guy needs to revamp his expectations.
First glance at the thumbnail, I thought it was Seth from Hardcore Pawn. I was like "Oh shit Seth's working at Pawn Stars now?"
These two did lots of shows together.
Nice AP !
one hell of a nice sword...
You must understand both sided in this: For seller, price is "what is possible that sword will sell for" For Craig and Pawn shop crew price is "what I can guarantee sword will sell in reasonable time"
"I'm taking all the risks here" WHAT FUCKING RISKS
customer : you can leave now.. i should have more for extra cracx.
Even if he said 9 million he would still say.. it's worth a lot more...that all he can say!!
Professional: its worth $13,000
Random citizen trying to sell a sword with no know large of it: nO Its woRTh a lot more
Honestly this sword is very interesting , there’s no wonder why they are collectible
they litterally used the battle sounds from stronghold crusader for this XD impressed
The price of the sword soared
Now that's a man who loves his job.
*Amazing bit of history.* 😂😂😂
Giants, giants, giants! Become unstoppable!
Craig really wanted that sword.
the seller looks like Kristaps Porzingis 😂
I wonder if somebody would walk into the shop and tell Rick that they have a genuine Ulfberht Viking sword. It's one of the most legendary swords in history. It's a thin bladed weapon that was very flexible but very strong and would not break
Good ole low ball Craig
the dude straight up owns an ags
Rick keeps calling you Greg
I wish Craig was my global history teacher back in high school.
It looks like a really cool sword
The guy at the end has Big Facts
