Elvis Presley owned and worn silver turquoise 22 caliber gun belt buckle. Elvis was known for his love of guns, mainly handguns. Elvis was known to carry at least two handguns with him at all times. There are hundreds of photographs of Elvis holding, or displaying his gun collection. Elvis was also known for his love of Indian turquoise jewelry. There are also hundreds of photos of Elvis wearing Turquoise rings, bracelets or necklaces. This is the only known combination of his love of Guns and Turquoise jewelry. A turquoise Belt/Gun combination that we believe is the only one he ever had. It is quite remarkable that an item combining Elvis's love of both is available to Elvis collectors. Elvis Presley gifted this Belt Buckle to Irwin Pate one of the biggest promoters in the East Coast from the 1960’s to the 1990’s. Pate promoted shows for the biggest stars from Jimi Hendrix to Elvis Presley to Whitney Houston. The item is currently in Florida and will need to be shipped to an authorized FFL Dealer. Comes with a letter of authenticity from Pate on Pate Stationary and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
