Is this even genuine? I have my doubts as it seems out of character for The Colonel to use the word 'pal' and to call himself 'Col. Tom Parker', I thought he always referred to himself as simply 'The Colonel" and this is most definitely what Elvis called him. I would say this is a fake.

not the most original gift from mr Parker considering all the jewelry Elvis already had..

This looks tempting and a cut above some of the artifacts that have been recently on offer. I dont suppose there is a picture in existence with him wearing it, which would push the price up considerably.
