Cracking - cheers Phil. Don't suppose you have their details? What sort of cost am I looking at?

mongoose were always changing the production of parts to suit manufacturing processes and cost.

The early (and majority) of gold stems were brass plated - later ones were gold painted with a clear lacquer finish :daumenhoch:

They even did a run of the bases painted in black ;)
