Vintage Dynamic mics

I've been seeing a lot of older (60s & 70s) Sennheiser/Grundig mics based around the 408 and 409 capsules on ebay at the moment.
I used the 408 on a couple of sessions a while back and liked the sound and there are quite a few older mics that have or claim to have the same capsule (whatever that is worth 45 years later...).

Has anyone had any experience using things like the GDSM 200/202? They look a little too good to be true, but some of them are just about cheap enough to take a punt on. Same capsule but very different in every other way perhaps? There isn't a lot of information out there on these.
