Pawn Stars M-422A

[MikeyB-17]

Those in the US may well have seen this already, but I saw a trailer the other night for Pawn Stars on History Channel at 9PM on Monday night, showing what I think is an H.L. Block M-422a with a 'Hell's Hawks' patch on it. I'm interested to see what they make of it. I understand they've had other jackets on before, but I've never managed to see any of those episodes.

This is a rerun show and the jacket is incorrectly identified by the seller and Rick as a P-47 unit from the ETO. The curator from the Clark County museum comes in and correctly identifies the jacket, etc. I forget how much they offer, if anything.

It's fun to watch in that you can yell at the TV and tell them how stupid they are.

The show is fake...

Drove by there a little while back, lots of people posing for a pic with Rick. From what I hear, it's always full of people.

OK just watched it. USMC on the nametag, USN on the collar, F4U Corsair, Munda, on the accompanying picture, and they're on about an AAF P-47 unit from D-day. I know they don't have the interest in the subject that we do, but I thought they would have more of a clue than that. He got two grand for it. Nice H.L. Block M-422a though.
