ELVIS PRESLEY'S PERSONALLY OWNED FAMOUS SHELBY COUNTY CHIEF DEPUTY SHERIFF'S BADGE

Jimmy Velvet's words.............

"On July 13, 1973 Elvis, his father Vernon and myself were presented with a 'Special Deputy of Shelby County badge in Memphis. The badges were all identical (the diamonds and EP initials were added to this badge at a later date). We were to have bonds recorded to protect the sheriff's office from anything we might do as Deputy's that could cause a lawsuit; Sheriff Roy "Skip" Nixon had to do the same as well. A couple of months later Vernon and i received our captain badge and Elvis received his Chief Deputy Badge".

NB: This is Elvis Presley's Chief Deputy Badge that Elvis received a couple of months later.

NB: The image in the listing is of Jimmy and Elvis on July 13 1973 when they were sworn in.
