This is the final and fourth badge manufactured in September 1998 and is the only item on the official inventory pattern No 28136. This badge was made of nickel silver with a bright nickel plate and has a more shiny appearance to the previously used pieces. It was not maker marked but has the more usual three lugs. It was deleted from the inventory on 29th August 2017. [NMI15]

Thanks for the reply Tim, it was really useful. How much do they normally retail for and how can I tell if it is a final pattern badge made.
