Elvis Presley's Personally Owned 14K White Gold, Chrome & Plastic Custom Sunglasses W/Prescription Lenses Given to Bodyguard Dave Hebler (Comes W/(3) Letters of Authenticity) - This spectacular piece is a pair of custom sunglasses, made for the "King of Rock & Roll", Elvis Presley.

The bridge of the glasses have an "EP" cut out detail and a "TCB" with a lightning bolt detail on each of the arms, which are done in solid 14k white gold. Elvis gave these sunglasses to his personal bodyguard Dave Hebler after returning from a workout with Sonny West at Kang Rhee's dojo. Hebler worked for Elvis from 1972 to 1976, and later sold the glasses to Sid Doan of Sierra Sid's Casino where the glasses were put on display from 1981 until the late 2000s. The glasses will be accompanied by an original letter of authenticity from Dave Hebler, along with a second letter from Hebler dated 2017, after he examined the glasses when they were purchased by our client from Sierra Sid's Casino. The glasses will also come with a third letter of authenticity from Jorge Barba of Sierra Sid's Casino from 2015 when their collection of Elvis memorabilia was sold. This is an incredible piece of memorabilia from one of history's most well known entertainers, and truly belongs in a museum. Elvis Presley (1935-1977) was an American singer and actor.
