Yup that's the brand that was on e bay and the one Russ Martin was selling . From what I understand is they are not making anymore , so what's out there is it unless someone makes a new mold .

Post by: marxjunk on June 29, 2019, 08:24:12 AM: Nope they are not available new and I was told not going to be available again.
Mine is new but has been mocked up. I sent you a link to a brand new one...cheaper than I paid for mine.

The day mine showed up I found another cheaper.....of course it was cheaper..my luck
