I'd like to be able to display both if I get there.
Until I'm kitted out though I'll probably hide the gold one.

Perhaps we original badge holders should get together in-game, a sort of old timers Elite. Go off every now and then helping out new players and searching the galaxy for the last of the original Elite.

The badges we have did not come with the game. To get one you had to first reach Elite status and send your save game code to the publisher, Acorn in my case, which was verified and a badge sent out.
I did have a badge though. It was a square one. Gold border, black background with the 'Elite' logo on it.
Can not find it.
JKF well done on finding your badge...
So I think this thread turned up you, me and Duncan who have badges.

@JFK - I love that your badge looks a bit scuffed, I can just imagine on an 80's style denim jacket beside your AC/DC badge!!

@Duncan - Don't be lazy take a pic of your actual badge, they are all unique
Me
My Elite Badge
So that is two BBC B badges and a Commodore 64 badge.
Have we missed anyone else? Surely we can do better than three people who where awarded the official "Order of Elite" on the Official Elite Forums!!
Anyone??
Yes Me, a BBC B player
I am also a "registered" Elite - (errm how do I post a pic of it?)
Yes Oh and check my name - sound familiar?
'Rafe Zetter. Trader of old. Traded with your father for many years, till we parted company on account of a certain issue which, you might say . . . caused a difference of opinion between us.'
Yes I've just had a bit of a notion - what do you think the chances are of getting David B to agree to letting all the the confirmed (by badge) Elite pilots from the original have an elite logo ship decal reserved just for them? And can't be earned ingame - As you say we are only a select few and the peacock in me wants to show that off )
I never knew about the non-BBC variants, I have to say they look rather nice (not that I would swap!)
I remember the letter as well but have long since lost contact with that one! (I recall it talking about a special 'Elite' (the elite of the Elite?) group that I had unfortunately not qualified for - wasn't there a competition of some sort for those that did qualify?). Sorry if somebody has said all this before.
