QS1 Fake


Blue Book: QS1

Description:       This is an example of a rejected run. The intended design became the Blue Book S33.

Design changes from an earlier prototype (YS3) were made but for some reason the manufacturer made the "EAAC" and "413" lettering Red when they ran the order of 100. Upon verification by the manufacturer that it was their error, they took the run back to be destroyed (minus two held by the lodge).

One copy was retained by the chief and one by the lodge advisor, who as of 2003, still had them in their possession.


Quantity Known: 100 made; 98 should have been destroyed. Five have been seen for trade / sale (Nov 2004).
Characteristics: Black with Red name, number and council lettering; 53x122mm.
