jackson12345 Valued Member Canada 72 Posts	Posted 08/09/2025 3:24 pm Probably a question that gets asked so many times here with people in search of "the big one". On that note - any chance this may be a prototype? I've read that the earth on reverse is a giveaway and mine looks quite different compared to my others. Photos are taken through the plastic enclosure. Anything else I should look for? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

jackson12345 Valued Member Canada 72 Posts	Posted 08/09/2025 5:15 pm I've probably had it for 2-3 yrs, along with a few others. Can't pin this one down exactly, but most likely an online auction somewhere in the US (I live in Canada). Just curious why where purchased might be significant? Report this Post to the Staff
