Eagles necklaces

[Shadowland07]

in early pictures of the Eagles they are shown with necklaces. i was just wondering if anyone knew what kind they were?

Not sure about Bernie, but Glenn and Randy are wearing those famous gold Eagle medallions the original guys wore in many of their publicity photos and even at live appearances. Each had an image of an eagle on the front, and the name of the band member to whom it belonged on the back. Only four were made, then the mold was broken. I believe they were Glyn Johns' idea.

Here are a couple shots where you can see them:

And wouldn't it be cool to know where the originals are now? I wonder if the guys still have them safely tucked away somewhere. Anyone ever hear?

I was wondering the same thing, Willie. It would be awesome to hear the background story about them from the guys.

Well, as Soda said, since there were only four made, I would think they were/are pretty coveted pieces. I wouldn't be surprised if they all still had them, although Bernie didn't appear to wear his as often as the others back in the day. Glenn and Don wore their's up until sometimes in the late 70's. Here's some of the last pictures that I remember seeing of them with it. Glenn apparently wore his a little later than Don. I wonder if their demise was symbolic of the band's???

Well good luck, SL07. I don't recall ever seeing a close up of it either. My guess is that this was intentional so that the medallion couldn't be reproduced by profiteers.
