Hi

I have one of these in my collection and have always wondered why the detail on the front is completely polished out.

Is there any reason for this. Any ideas anyone I'd really like to know.

Cheers

Arnhem

Its an original. Too bad they polished it to that point. I think some did this because they wanted more shine. Have seen a few done this way. Cheers Brian
