Est. $30,000-$33,000 Elvis Presley's American Eagle Belt Buckle & White Leather Belt Given to Bodyguard Dave Hebler W/(2) LOAs - This belt was owned and worn by Elvis Presley in the early 1970s. The white leather belt is finished with a gold plated belt buckle with an American Eagle and red, white and blue flag across the front. Elvis later gave the belt to long time friend, Memphis Mafia member and bodyguard, Dave Hebler, after Hebler made a joke asking Elvis if he could wear one of his jumpsuits and the King replied "No, but you can wear this belt." The belt will be accompanied by a hand written letter from Hebler, along with a second letter from 40 year gaming industry veteran, former Las Vegas Hilton employee and memorabilia collector Jerald Branca, who purchased the piece from Dave Hebler in the early 2000s. The belt measures 43" in length and the buckle measures 4" x 3".
