(Official engravers of the 1988 Olympic Torch)

Richard Korbyl had the opportunity to show off his authentic 1988 Winter Olympic Torch to both Rick Harrison and Cory Harrison , of the famous Las Vegas Gold and Silver Pawn Store. The popular television show "Pawn Stars" is shown on the History Channel.

Korbyl's parent company, Columbia Awards, was asked by the 1988 Winter Olympic Committee to laser engrave the iconic graphics on the torch.

This torch is viewed as one of the rarest Olympic Torches with approximately 145 made and only around 3 remaining unlit.

"I was really young when my Dad used his new laser to engrave these torches. But, I am still extremely proud" says Korbyl.
