1986 · Slim · Bradford · Gold — Insert reference (1986)
Slim gold-plated · September 1986: September 1986, confirmed by the collection owner after correcting a transposed year in the original notes. The gold-plated Slim insert is a real photographed example; the production date is owner-confirmed and not an independent reading of the photographed stamp. In the contemporary case dating system, September corresponds to I and 1986 to II. No claim is made that this insert itself displays that complete case code.
