WPN Pre-1st Batch Amulet
"Roon Long Phim" 
The above top pic is the WPN test-blok or pre-1st batch amulet.   Thai collectors call such the amulet "Roon Long Phim"; Roon = batch, Long = test, Phim = blok, mold. After LP Sod had decided to build a big Dhamma school building for monks, he raised up fund by making Gift Amulets (Phra KongKwan) in B.E. 2493 for people who helped donate for the project.

Before the 1st batch Gift Amulets were set with the white holy powder formula, all 10 molds had been tested with a grey composition (mixed with construction cement) formula. Although the formula had enhanced the amulet structure strength, they really looked unpleasant. By the suggestion of the Great Guru--LP Sod-- the grey formula was changed to the white holy powder formula. This is, thus, the white holy powder 1st batch Gift Amulets were created ever since in B.E.2493.

It's roughly estimated that there are only 200-300 pieces of Roon Long Phim amulets. All of them were brought for blessing simultaneously with the 1st batch Dhammagaya consecration ceremony led by LP Sod himself. Apart from the dry-surfaced texture amulets as shown on the above top pic, there are also oily-look surface pieces.
