Ep 21. Crossing Chum

In the latest episode of Pawn Stars season 11, titled "Crossing Chum", the team at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, in Las Vegas, is presented with a diverse array of intriguing and valuable items.

The episode opens with Richard "Old Man" Harrison, the co-owner of the shop, looking to purchase an antique sword. His search takes him far and wide, and he finally manages to find a wonderful example of a Samurai sword. However, he is not the only one interested in purchasing it, and he has to compete with a rival dealer to secure the piece. Will he be successful and get his hands on this rare artifact?

Meanwhile, Corey "Big Hoss" Harrison is intrigued by an adorable 1950s teddy bear. The plush toy is in excellent condition, and Corey believes it could be worth a considerable amount of money. However, he soon learns that the toy is actually a rare piece of political memorabilia that was made to commemorate a particular presidential campaign. Can he negotiate a fair price for the piece, or will the seller's high expectations put a damper on the deal?

Next, the shop welcomes a customer with an unusual item - an authentic 1800s British police truncheon. The truncheon has been expertly crafted from dense hardwood and features a beautiful silver band and handle. The seller tells the team that the truncheon has been passed down through his family for generations, and he is hoping to sell it to finance a new venture. However, the team is skeptical about the piece's authenticity, and they must examine it carefully to determine whether it is genuinely antique. Can they authenticate the truncheon and make a deal with the seller?

Another customer arrives at the shop with an impressive brass diving helmet that he claims was used in the navy during World War II. The helmet is large and heavy and features all the original ventilation and communication systems. The customer is hoping to get top dollar for the piece, but the team is concerned about the helmet's provenance and its state of preservation. Can they determine whether the helmet is real and worth the seller's asking price?

Finally, Chumlee - the fan favourite Pawn Stars team member - has a surprise in store for the rest of the team. He has purchased a classic muscle car and has given it a complete makeover. The 1970s vehicle has been fitted with a brand-new engine, a gorgeous paint job, and a custom sound system.
