  • What's going on there, my man?

  • Hey, what's up?

  • Back again.

  • Good to see you.

  • And I bring you the sword from "Zelda."

  • It doesn't look like Excalibur that

  • was pulled out of the stone.

  • It looks like it was in a pile of rocks.

  • Actually, it got pulled out of the rock.

  • It's just been sitting there waiting--

  • No, no, no. This was under a pile of rocks.

  • It wasn't pulled out of the rock.

  • This was in a pile of rocks.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • I have a very old what I believe

  • is a Moorish sword from the 17th century that

  • was found in a cave in England.

  • I'm looking to hopefully get 200 bucks out of it.

  • If Rick and I are able to make a deal,

  • I'm going to take that money and put it into fixing my car

  • and keeping it on the road.

  • So this thing is just in amazing condition.

  • Some people would call this patina.

  • I call this rust.

  • You know, just clean it up a little bit.

  • You can cut your vegetables, watermelon, potatoes.

  • Yeah, you know, whatever.

  • OK, so how much do you want for this beauty?

  • I don't know.

  • I was thinking maybe 200 bucks.

  • Let me call up someone who actually knows

  • what they're talking about.

  • OK.

  • I got a friend in town, and he will hopefully know about this.

  • I just don't know a lot about Middle Eastern swords,

  • and apparently-- - You don't know.

  • I don't know.

  • Let's get the expert in here and see if we can figure this out.

  • OK. I'm going to go give him a call.

  • All right.

  • And he's probably going to tell us it's worthless.

  • OK.

  • All right, sounds good.

  • If it was anybody else, I would just say, forget it.

  • But over the years, I've made a lot of money

  • off Spencer, a lot more than he's cost me.

  • So what the heck?

  • Let's give this thing a shot.

  • [CASH REGISTER RINGS]

  • Hey, how's it going, [INAUDIBLE]??

  • Hey, how you doing, brother?

  • Good.

  • I haven't seen you for a while.

  • So Spencer is a friend of mine, and he bought this sword.

  • And we don't know anything about it.

  • I mean, you can tell it's Middle Eastern,

  • and that's all I know about it.

  • Can I take a look at it, Rick?

  • Sure.

  • It's definitely a pulwar from Afghanistan.

  • It was a one-handed sword-- could be either hand.

  • And this end piece was created so that it wouldn't slip out

  • of the hand while wielding it.

  • And the curve is in the first third of the sword.

  • The reason for that is because this was a horseback sword.

  • The warrior would be riding the horse

  • and slicing the enemy or the other horses

  • or whatever from horseback, and they didn't want

  • it to slide out of the hand.

  • OK.

  • So when was it made?

  • The 17th century.

  • It's a neat piece.

  • OK, so what's it worth?

  • As is, 500 bucks, maybe.

  • But actually, if I restore this for you,

  • it'll be worth on the outside 5 grand.

  • And how much to restore it?

  • 1,500 bucks.

  • OK.

  • Thanks, man. I'll let you know.

  • Thanks a lot.

  • Good to see you.

  • All right.

  • All right, well let me go get you 200 bucks, dude.

  • $200?

  • Not going to happen. $450.

  • Well, there's not a lot of money to be made here, dude.

  • I know I got to leave you a little room.

  • All right, $250.

  • $350.

  • I'm just-- I'm already cutting that low.

  • Come on.

  • All right, 300 bucks.

  • All right.

  • You better-- you better hook me up on the next one, man. $300.

  • All right.

  • Yeah, sure.

  • Yeah, like you hook me up all the time, right?

  • I'll meet you over there, dude.

  • All right, man, I'll see you over there.

  • I only paid $15 for this piece, so I'm going to walk

  • out of here with a good profit.

  • And again, I can't wait to see what this sword

  • looks like fully restored.

  • What'd you buy now?

  • What?

  • I don't know.

  • This came in the mail for you.

  • I don't know.

  • I get lots of things in the mail.

  • Oh, it's my sword.

  • You bought a new sword?

  • Were you going hunting with it with your hat and everything

  • or--

  • It's a 300-year-old Afghan pulwar.

  • I bought the thing off Spencer for 300 bucks,

  • and then I paid Dave 1,500 bucks to restore it.

  • It was nothing but a bucket of rust when I got it,

  • and he brought it all back to perfect.

  • Well, it looks cool enough.

  • We're 1,800 bucks into it.

  • What's it worth?

  • It's worth 5,000 bucks.

  • It's an amazing sword.

  • It's got great history.

  • And like I always tell you, all the value's in the story,

  • and this has just got a great story.

  • It's literally over 300 years old,

  • and now it looks like it's brand new.

  • I'm not complaining.

  • It looks like you did a good job.

  • I'm just more concerned about the hat.

  • You going for like an Elmer Fudd thing or something or--

  • I don't know.

  • I thought the hat was cool, I bought it, all right?

  • Stop making those decisions yourself.

  • But good job on the sword, pops.

  • Will you go put this in the case?

  • Sure.

  • Put a tag on it.

  • Afghan pulwar.

  • I like that.
