Elvis Presley Show Member Card

On September 5, 1974, Elvis was promoted to 8th degree black belt. To commemorate this occasion, Elvis was presented with a gold ID card stating that he was a member of the International Kenpo Karate Association (IKKA) and entitled to the rank of 8th degree black belt. Elvis loved this card so much that he asked Dave to design a special gold ID card especially for him. This card would recognize and identify the various members of his staff, band, family, and friends of his shows. Elvis gave his approval and signature on the design. Dave had copies made for various members of Elvis’s shows. Pictured here is my Brass Replica of that same card.
