With the popularity of Las Vegas-based "Pawn Stars," History is expanding the franchise and heading south with "Cajun Pawn Stars," set at the Silver Dollar Pawn & Jewelry Center in Alexandria, La. Jimmie "Big Daddy" DeRamus has owned and operated the shop with his family for more than two decades. DeRamus is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to historic collectibles, which is not surprising given that his store houses more than 100,000 artifacts. Much like the original "Pawn Stars," in addition to the items that are brought into the store, the show focuses on Jimmie and his family -- younger brother Johnnie and daughter Tammie -- as they run the store as well as the experts that are brought in to help appraise the items.

The guys check out a pristine 1918 Browning automatic rifle; a Porsche 917 racecar is brought to the shop; an 11-foot anaconda skin is brought in.

A lock of alleged Sasquatch hair; commemorative WWI gun; unique snow cone concession stand.

A rare 1932 World Series program that features Babe Ruth's infamous called shot; Chester stops by with what he believes is a 1903 Remington rifle; a personal check signed by screen legend Judy Garland.

The guys encounter the infamous cannon used in the Colfax Massacre of 1873; Gerard pops in to pawn an old family gumbo recipe; Tammie has to step in when Jimmie is awestruck by a handmade Native American bison jacket.
