A pawnbroker shall have a lien on the pledged goods pawned for the money advanced and the pawnshop charge owed, but not for other debts due to him. He shall retain possession of the pledged goods, except as otherwise herein provided, until his lien is satisfied. Pledged goods not redeemed on or before the maturity date, if fixed and set out in the pawn ticket issued in connection with any transaction, shall be held by the pawnbroker for thirty (30) days following such date and may be redeemed or repurchased by the pledgor or seller within such period by the payment of the originally agreed redemption price, and the payment of an additional pawnshop charge equal to the original pawnshop charge.
