Yes it most certainly looks like it! Also the other decal on the other side. All things considered, even though the horn is very unusual and all, I find they've meddled too much for muy taste with this gramophone and I don't think I'd ever be happy with that box, the damage can't be undone so to say, also with the wrong motor, soundbox, crank, etc. and then a horn that is going to be a serious restoration project it just is'nt for me. I also found out the motor won't play a record through, vibrates a lot and sounds like a truck... I've done one of those fiber/wheel motors before and they can be quite a challenge, especially if they're very worn!

Thanks guys for all your insightful observations and advice!! It was great!!
