I have personally spoken to the "men" that got these made - half a dozen are still arround in NZ. The secretary of the association has told me they were all silver.
Remember there was less than 100 guys in the LRP, they NCOs and ORs were nearly all kiwis with some brit officers.
I nave never seen a brass on and only ever seen silver ones on vets all of whom were "men".
I recall Brendan O'Carrol interviewed the guy who got them made and then collected and destroyed the die. I will call him and ask.
