  • COREY: Hey, what's up?

  • Hey, how you doing?

  • I have a samurai sword that my family's

  • had for a long, long time.

  • [music playing]

  • I really don't know much about it.

  • COREY: Why is it made out of wood?

  • Got me on that one.

  • I mean, it wouldn't really do a lot of damage.

  • It--

  • A giant toothpick.

  • [laugh]

  • I'm here today at the pawn shop to sell my sword.

  • My grandfather brought the sword back from World War II,

  • and it's been in the family ever since.

  • I was looking to get $8,000 for the sword.

  • If I walk out of the pawn shop today with $8,000,

  • I will take my family on a vacation

  • to a theme park in Florida.

  • So it looks like you have a scabbard

  • here, but not the sword.

  • I mean, the handle looks pretty legit.

  • Do you know much about it at all?

  • CRAIG: No, this is from from my grandfather.

  • He picked it up during the war, and I really don't

  • know anything more than that.

  • I deal with samurai swords all the time,

  • but I've never really dealt with just a case and a handle

  • for one.

  • It definitely looks Japanese.

  • But you know, one of the big problems with stuff like this

  • is these things were passed down from generation to generation.

  • It could be 500 years old.

  • It could be 100 years old.

  • I have no idea.

  • They really do range from that kind of time period.

  • I really don't understand why there's

  • not a sword attached to it.

  • I mean, it definitely looks like a mounting for an actual sword.

  • I just want to know where the real sword's at.

  • The handle looks like it's made of silk.

  • The scabbard-- I don't know what material it is that he used.

  • I mean, it looks like wood, maybe.

  • So we don't know how old it is.

  • It looks like it could actually be something here.

  • I just don't know exactly what it is.

  • So what are you looking to do with it?

  • To sell it.

  • OK.

  • Any idea of what you're looking to get?

  • $8,000.

  • COREY: Do you mind if I have a buddy come in

  • and take a look at it?

  • No, I welcome. It'd be great.

  • COREY: OK.

  • Hang out.

  • I'll be right back.

  • I'm totally fine with someone coming

  • in today to look at the sword.

  • I really would like to have more information

  • about where it came from, how old

  • it is and, what its value is.

  • COREY: Hey, Mike.

  • What's going on, man? - Hey, what's up, Corey?

  • How you been?

  • COREY: Doing good.

  • Hello.

  • What you got today?

  • COREY: A weird one.

  • It's what appears to be an old scabbard.

  • MIKE: OK.

  • Well, actually, this is common, believe it or not, in Japan.

  • After World War II, the occupation,

  • MacArthur ordered all the swords to get collected.

  • So that means all the blades were turned in,

  • but the mountings were OK to keep because these

  • were not against the law.

  • They're not a weapon.

  • COREY: OK.

  • And this is quite old, actually.

  • How do we know how old it is?

  • Well, this style of mount is made in southern Japan.

  • And this is known as a Higo mount,

  • which is from the area of Kumamoto in modern-day Japan.

  • And they were very particular to make

  • this style of gold inlay work.

  • Judging from the style, we can pretty

  • much determine that this whole package

  • was from the early 1800s.

  • COREY: Oh, wow.

  • So what else can you tell me about it?

  • Interesting.

  • This is very interesting.

  • Maybe you get lucky.

  • It's a hidden coin pocket.

  • COREY: No way.

  • These are very rare to find intact.

  • COREY: Now, I am a little bit of an expert.

  • Those aren't gold.

  • No, no, these are definitely not gold.

  • Unfortunately, somebody put some reproductions in here

  • and obviously kept the real gold.

  • So why would they hide it inside the sword like that?

  • MIKE: You would be afraid to get robbed,

  • so this was the best place to actually

  • hide your money in that sense.

  • COREY: Gotcha.

  • MIKE: A little holder like this could hold

  • up to $10,000 worth of coins.

  • COREY: OK.

  • Well, too bad we didn't get that lucky, right?

  • But because of the rarity of this,

  • this makes this set very highly collectible.

  • OK.

  • How collectible?

  • Well, I mean, in excellent condition like this,

  • especially with the addition of the hidden coin pocket,

  • now you're talking something very, very rare and special.

  • So this thing would be worth, easy, $8,000.

  • All right, well, appreciate it, Mike.

  • MIKE: All right. Take care.

  • Thank you.

  • See you later.

  • Well, I mean, you kind of hit the nail on the head

  • of what it was worth.

  • That being said, I've got to make some money.

  • I'd like to give you $4,000.

  • Could you come up a little bit more than $4,000?

  • Can you go down from $8,000?

  • Mm, $6,500.

  • Tell you what, I'll do $5,000.

  • $5,000 seems fair.

  • All right, deal.

  • - Thank you. - Meet me over there.

  • Let's do some paperwork.

  • OK.

  • I am thrilled to make a deal today for $5,000.

  • It wasn't quite the $8,000 I was asking for,

  • but I will certainly be able to take

  • my family on a nice vacation.

COREY: Hey, what's up?
