Every "Roman Head" that I have owned, or worked on, have had the Gold Award feature. Although I have seen a couple over
the years, that had the window, but the mechanism was missing. Not sure if any left the factory without the feature, or an
operator, or someone else removed it afterwards. I would only have to assume, that if the front casting had the protrusion
with the glass, it should have the feature. If there was another front casting design without the window, I haven't seen one.

I've been under the impression that the repro machines have no gold award linkage. With linkage are original

I have never seen a Mills Silent "Roman Head" model without the gold award attachment, I think it could have been because of the theme, Roman Head-Gold Coins ?. When they made this model for the U.K market, they used the 50c top casting for the large old penny (50c Size)and fitted skill stops they also put totalisator reels (Numbers) because in England "Fruit Machines" (Fruit Symbals) was illegal, the machine in the picture as been converted from old penny to English sixpence, and fitted with Fruit reels, but if you
look at the award card, this machine as had an award card with fruit symbals covering the one with numbers.

One thing I do know and I dont know very much, is that Mills made covers for the gold award window as I have a couple that I'm keeping.

WHAT??????????
You have always told me that "You know everything"!
Now you've gone and popped my bubble! Who am I going to seek out for my next stumper?
I can't ask the owner of the Chocolate Factory. He knows less than I do. Damn!
I also have covers for the Gold Award window. It's called 'Duct Tape'.

Do you have a serial number on the castings. Should be just above the award card on the top side.
