Almost....
Mine has a longer horn on it, and the lettering on the label for the word
Handphone, is in red. Other than that, that IS it!!
I guess I should have kept looking. I have spent a few days with the bead
blaster, rather then the web.
I am hoping mine looks that good when done.
Thank you!
Brad
