It's made in on to my "To Do" list (currently a Post-It stuck on my breakfast coaster), so progress is being made!

Comparison photographs as requested....

Because the 68A with silver grill was documented here in the U.S. early on, it was found to be more common than thought originally as collectors worldwide were made aware of it. I don't expect these silver grilled 62As to be ultra-rare, just un-noted and ignored till now. I now will remember to check mine, this Post had slipped my mind till your pictures today Idris. A snoozing kwakers LOL

i have held this #62a of Hugh's in my hand and i am convinced that it is factory applied.
