Historic circa 1940s Washington Redskins team jacket worn by Hall of Famer Sammy Baugh. Worn on the sidelines by Baugh during games, this 100% original heavy-duty zipper front jacket is simply beautiful. The Indian logo on the left breast is sewn on in felt as are the words, "Washington Redskins" that surround the colorful logo. The two waist height pockets are leather bound in contrasting light colored leather, are amazingly soft, and lot comes with a slightly used "Smokers Cough" matchbook that was found in a pocket, presumably owned by Baugh. Original collar tag is intact and quite fragile, but the heavily faded machine-typed "BAUGH" can still be read. The rarity of Baugh game used jerseys is well-known. With only a few known to exist, all in private collections and an estimated value of $150,000, this jacket is the next best thing and possibly more rare. Originally offered by Lelands in 1995 as part of the Sammy Baugh collection, this jacket was obtained directly from Baugh and comes with his signed 1995 Letter of Authenticity stating that it was from his personal collection and indeed game worn by him.
