Great looking Classic head, they don't pop out very often. Are you going to clean it? The surface looks pretty fragile.

i dont clean them anymore I brush it off dry while the dirt is damp right out the hole with a toothbrush, then I put it in my pocket after it dries for a few hours and the pocket dust highlights the detail. Very technical process :laughing7: The always turn to crap after scrubbing them underwater.
