Question 27:

X stands at 3 inches and, for safety, is mounted on a spring-loaded mechanism designed to retract instantly into the shell if struck from any direction. There is a button within which can retract/extend X when pressed. X can be made of highly polished stainless steel, sterling silver or 24-carat gold, the sterling silver and gold being optional extras.
The only one on which X does not appear on currently is the royal one, which carries the British Queen's mascot of St. George on horseback, slaying a dragon.
What is X?
