Those badges are fantastic and you should be commended for keeping them safe all this time. I'm very envious, as my Elites were gained on CPC, Newkind & Oolite - no quarter of a century vintage bragging rights for me!
Unless I roll up my sleeves when E : D arrives...
Really dumb qustion I'm sure ..... but I have a 29 year old badge that means the world to me .. http://wouter.bbcmicro.net/pictures/software/elite_pins.jpg (the one on the left) .... any plans to continue this ? (a shiny new badge for shiny new Eliteangerous players that make it to Elite)
Membership is offered to pilots who have proven their ability by reaching “Elite” rating within the Pilot’s Federation, but the founding members are not put through such an indignity. All “The Elite” are entitled to display a special silver “Elite” emblem, and the founders a golden one with the word ‘Founder’ beneath it.
I cannot find mine.
I am sure that the Spectrum 48K version had one. It had everything else.
Will check on ebay.
