Hi Iain, rumour has it, less than 10. Officially there is only 1 in the Tvl. Scottish Museum. The rest were destroyed when the baggage train was hit by a shell in France. In the 1960's a few were discovered at the manufacturer in Edinburgh that had never been issued. All told there appears to be about 6 or 7 in circulation. They have been faked in silver. The originals are in white metal. Regards Andrew
