Hi

These "gold versions" do surprise me, as it fails the egalitarian principles that was so important to us in the colonies. Do you have one and further information around these "special" pins (gold plated, solid 9 or 18) and more importantly a list of recipients?

I was of the belief Winston Churchill was one of the VIP recipients.

Cheers Stephen
