This TI-30 manufactured in Italy looks different to the original TI-30. Instead of the usually molded TI-logo and TEXAS INSTRUMENTS nameplate this one uses just a sticker. We know this type of display frame from some other European calculators:

TI-45 1st design
TI-57
Privileg SR-35NC

Even some US-manufactured calculators got the sticker:

Radio Shack EC-4000

In the meantime we discovered a rare TI-30 with a completely different keyboard technology.
