I love how the customer is already getting bored from the history lesson and just wants his money.

[@abubibs]

Yes... it's funny when they stand there and force the seller to listen to the regurgitation that they are spoon fed by the real experts that the producers hire 🤣

He wasn't bored, dumbass. He was nervous cuz He made that cross himself.

That customer sounds JUST like Corey!!!

[@gammadelray1225]

They kind of did have blowtorches back then. They blew through long tubes into an oil lamp to make the flame hot. That’s why they are called “blow” torches, because you literally used to blow the oxygen into them. Switching to modern gas just made things easier. I’ve used an old style blowtorch though, they work great and are still commonly used around the world. Theres no way people could have made such intricate metal work in ancient times without them.

don't know about other countries in Europe but in UK gold jewellery hallmarks were introduced after queen victoria although silver pieces have been hallmarked for centuries. I have bought a load of Victorian gold and it's never stamped.

ddullaway I know , right? I tried explaining that exact fact to rick but of course they cut all that out of the final cut...

[@KroryykDB]

@@whatchoobeezbout He also said they didn't have blowtorches but they actually did which is where the word blowtorch came from, it was you blowing air through a sort of lamp or whatever. Also soldering has been around for 900+ years, the early medieval rings were almost always soldered.

Laxus Maximus I am the one who brought this into pawnstars. It infact was authentic and over 300 years old. Right after taping I walking it down main street to another pawn shop and sold it immediately for $7800. Turns out the owner of the pawns shop used to be an auctioneer at Heritage....probably ended up selling it for a figure I’d rather not hear about....

[@danielzaba9913]

@@whatchoobeezbout Sure. Although it was possible that the cross was actually just modern repaired.

[@whatchoobeezbout]

Dexter Dexter you are absolutely correct. I had a friend that owned a coin and bullion shop that I let display the cross while I went out of town one week. Upon my return he took it to a jeweler to get two spots repaired on it and all the original patina buffed off. I could have had a coronary when I got back and saw what he had done...

You obviously missed the joke, but just to answer you seriously, Vetus Faba: someone saying that and meaning it isn't suggesting that the law should put it in a museum. It's ones own opinion. A moral stance. That's not against liberty and fuck you for suggesting it is. I'm tired of the "we want liberty" and "freedom of speech"-argument being misused.

From wikipedia: "There is evidence that soldering was employed as early as 5000 years ago in Mesopotamia. Soldering and brazing are thought to have originated very early in the history of metal-working, probably before 4000 BC. Sumerian swords from ~3000 BC were assembled using hard soldering. Soldering was historically used to make jewelry items, cooking ware and tools, as well as other uses such as in assembling stained glass."

[@jasholden9741]

Much early soldering was done using an alcohol lamp with a blowpipe to make the flame "blowtorch". Thats why it's called a blowtorch. DUH, Rick.

[@Batman-sm2mz]

I think he meant it was electrically solder'd
