Ronald Reagan Presidential Seal Camp David G1 leather jacket Head of State Gift

Description: Ronald Reagan Presidential Seal Camp David G1 leather jacket Head of State VIP Gift. This is the famous leather G1 camp. David Presidential jacket. Authentic versions of these jackets are almost impossible to acquire. Presidents have for the most part reserved these jackets for visiting heads of state. This jacket belonged to former Ambassador Charles H Price II. Who was a personal friend of President Reagan's since the 1970s. In 1981, President Reagan named Price ambassador to Belgium. Two years later, Price moved from Brussels to London to become ambassador to Britain, a post he held until the end of Reagan's second term in 1989. Price was credited with contributing to the friendly relationship between Reagan and Thatcher, both of whom he counted as friends.In the 1970s, he met Reagan at a New Year's Eve party thrown by publishing magnate Walter Annenberg and his wife, Lee."What clicked the most between my husband and Ronald Reagan was their sense of humor," Price's wife, Carol, told the Kansas City Star in 2004.When Reagan offered to make his fellow Republican an ambassador, Price later recalled, he thought, "If I'm going to undertake an adventure, this was probably a good time." In a statement released upon the death of Ambassador Price, former First Lady Nancy Reagan called the Prices close friends who were "extraordinary" hosts when the Reagans traveled to England on state visits. She said she would "miss Charlie's good humor, his generosity and great stories." The jacket is made by Ralph Edwards sports gear Incorporated. The jacket bears the military label which states the size 48 and the military order number. The jacket has the correct Camp David presidential seal two piece patch which was used during President Reagan's term as president. Please look at the photographs. You will see Ambassador Price pictured with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and on a golf outing with President Reagan and other VIPs. The condition of the jacket is excellent with little to know wear. The leather name badge with Ambassador Prices name Has faded over the years. The size 48 equates to a large. I normally wear a large and this jacket fits me perfectly. This piece is being sold as a collectible and for its historical value so I will not accept returns if the jacket does not fit. This is a high value item so it will be shipped with a signature required, and fully insured.

I personally started in the hobby of political memorabilia over 30 years ago and Presidential Collectibles was established on eBay in 1998. Over these 30 plus years I have gained a wealth of knowledge both from my personal experiences and the invaluable information shared with me by a very small group of fellow Political collectors and White House staff some of which were collecting Presidential and White House memorabilia 40 years before I purchased my first pair of Presidential cufflinks. You can rest assured that all the items we sell have been carefully inspected and researched every item we sell is 100% authentic.
