Russian Launch Keys Appeared on Pawn Stars
Russian Launch Keys were seen on TV via the Pawn Stars TV show. A guy came in the shop with what was thought to be an ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile). It turned out, after an inspection from the expert, that the items were Russian Launch Keys.
The Russian Launch keys were used for launching space craft.
The guy wants $10,000 for the item, Rick can only offer $1500. The guy thought it was too small an amount and decided not to have a deal.

Pawn Stars – Russian Launch Keys
My name is Steve and I am Chairman of the Silent Heroes of the Cold War National Memorial Committee. I am the guy that took my Russian ICBM Launch Keys to Pawn Starts. Thought I would let you know, they really are ICBM launch keys. I now have the proof if anyone is interested. I understand how Mark, the expert, got it wrong but either way he did get it wrong. The true is, Mark never presented himself as a Russian nuclear expert. And it would be easy to make this mistake because of the similarities of the rocket keys and the ICBM keys. The space rocket keys are 1 centimeter longer than the ICBM. I now have proof of this! I hadn’t received my documentation prior to the show being taped. I now have it. Believe me I respect Mark as being a very knowledgeable person but he didn’t know the difference between the two launch keys. I will post proof of the ICBM connection on the Silent Heroes of the Cold War web site.
Again, special thanks to Pawn Stars and the History Channel. We appreciate the interest and hope people become more familiar with the effort to construct a national memorial dedicated to individuals that work in the intelligence community during the cold war. For those who lost their lives performing clandestine missions during the cold war, in many cases their families have yet to be told the nature of their loved ones sacrifice. If this matters to you please consider a donation to the Silent Heroes of the Cold War National Memorial.

Steve,
Maybe you should proof read your message before posting. Not only did you get the name of “Pawn Starts” wrong but your sentence structure and grammer does not represent the Silent Heroes of the Cold War National Memorial Committee well.
WHO CARES!
Steve. Ignore the naysayers. Ya done good. Creepy item, and it should probably NOT be sold anyways. This should be a very highly featured item, with the proof of intent of the keys, in your museum. I for one, thought they were neat. I am a little concerned that Chumley held one. That klutz could have accidently launched the damned missiles by accident.
