Slim gold-plated · September 1986 — Insert reference (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.

Dating caution. Case and insert can have different manufacture dates; inserts may have been replaced. A single feature does not establish authenticity.
