Crhaize Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Hi: I've been shopping for a nice Golden or Super Eagle and I noticed something interesting. On some of these, there are several ivory dots, often in a sort of pyramid shape, below the inlaid eagle on the rear of the headstock. Now here's the odd part--the number of these dots varies. I have found one Golden Eagle with one dot. I have found another with four and I recently found one with six! I called Heritage and they had no idea these dots existed and claim to have no awareness of how or why they are there. Can anyone shead some light on this? Thanks
barrymclark Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 It was a weather balloon. Plausible deniabilty. Nothing to see here.
tulk1 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Is it the branch the Eagle is supposed to be landing on?
Gitfiddler Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Hmmm...my Golden Eagle has a pearl-inlayed newspaper below the bird!
kbp810 Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Boy am I ever befuddled - if you happen to run across a few more could you try and get some pictures to post?

High Flying Bird Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Bird droppings? I actually have a photo of an eagle taking a dump. I didn't want to be the first to say so because my "warn meter" is pegging. I have seen this stuff all over the ground under nest and other of their favorite trees. What a mess. I can see Ren making the young employees cut the stuff after it has dried. A kind of paying your dues ritual.... The second pic shows that your dots are actually turtle and terrapin shell inlays. I found these under one of their nest and found 4 others before we left.
