HISTORY(R) PUTS A SOUTHERN SPIN ON ITS MEGA HIT SERIES WITH...

CAJUN PAWN STARS

New Season Premiering on Wednesday, June 6 at 9pm EST

New York, NY - Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, made
internationally famous in HISTORY's hit series Pawn Stars, isn't the
only family-run shop in America that's bursting at the seams with
one-of-a-kind historical items and fascinating stories. Silver Dollar
Pawn & Jewelry Center in Alexandria, Louisiana owned and operated by
Jimmie DeRamus and his family, is a colorful place that collects an
eclectic array of historical merchandise, with a daily stream of
quirky local characters attempting to sell, purchase or pawn items -
including livestock.

Cajun Pawn Stars is back, with all new episodes premiering on
Wednesday, June 6 at 9pm EST.

Jimmie, a.k.a. "Big Daddy," has been buying and selling for over 27
years and, no matter whether he's haggling over the price of a vintage
1936 Ford flathead V8, a herd of donkeys or Jerry Lee Lewis' first
recording, he's as savvy as they come. That said, it's also important
to Jimmie that both parties leave the deal with smiles on their faces.
That's how they do things in central Louisiana, where many of his
customers are his neighbors.

Jimmie is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to valuable and
historic collectibles. He's a cautious buyer - one has to be to
survive in this business - but also unafraid to make a bold move when
he spots a true gem. For example, in the premiere episode, he doesn't
think twice about making a staggering $500,000 offer to acquire rare
$10,000 and $5,000 bank notes.

Silver Dollar Pawn is one of the biggest shops in the south, a
whopping 20,000 square feet that houses more than 100,000 artifacts.
It's a veritable museum, frequented by school and bus tours. Each
episode will focus not just on interesting items but the unique
dynamic of Jimmie and his family, his daughter Tammie DeRamus-Credeur
and his younger brother Johnnie DeRamus, and their circle of expert
appraisers and buyers from the area.

Cajun Pawn Stars is produced for HISTORY by Leftfield Pictures.
Executive Producers for HISTORY are Paul Cabana and Mary Donahue.
