One of the awards was Lent's Oakleaves & Swords with Diamonds. Here is a photo from the Bowen book of the items sold (with credit by him to Sotheby's). I cannot personally vouch for the accuracy of the figure stated, but I have heard this same figure for many years without contradiction.

A slightly different view of Len'ts awards.
