Notes/Comments: A very small number of prototype plates were made of the "Lt. Worf" and "Counselor Troi" plates in this series. No photos of these two plates are currently available. The third plate on this page shows a "Data" black and white prototype plate before color was applied to the artwork. The Captain Picard plate with the plum colored uniform is a prototype made before the final decision on red as the production color. Only a small number of plum prototype examples of this plate were ever made, and very few still exist today.
NOTE: If you have any information or photos of missing plates in this series, please contact us. Only a handfull of the Worf and Troi prototypes were made and there is no information available on the Internet concerning these plates. Any information, especially photos, that you might be willing to contribute would be greatly appreciated!!
