London Underground Pin [Unconfirmed] [Series V, VII, Back To Earth]

As with the Yin-Yang pin, this example has yet to be featured on the blog due to the apparent rarity of correct-period examples. This version has a 1990s-era soft enamel dome (also yellowed with age) and, crucially, protruding edges to the central blue bar that bears the slogan "Underground". Yes, God, I'm pedantic, but as you know, I'm also striving for accuracy here (for some reason). Regrettably, I have yet to find one that says "Mimas Central" because I do not believe such a pin currently exists. Gah. Timing, eh?

The pin can be found during Series V, VII, and Back To Earth, beneath the screen-right breast pocket of Lister's leather jacket. For some other reason, it appears to have always been seated at a near-90 degree angle. Perhaps, it was from a gift shop on WaxWorld, and 10 degrees more, it'll melt. Harrumph, harrumph.

There are far, far too many similar examples out in the wild, so I shall stamp a big 'Unconfirmed' onto this one, in all-caps, red stencil typeface, until the screen-used jacket is accidentally couriered to me in some kind of fluke mailing accident. After all, I have just necked a shot of this blue luck virus, so I fully expect... oh wait, it was actually Vimto and LN2... *clears throat*

Measures approximately 27x22mm. *clears throat again*

*because it's lethal to humans*
