ID this mic?

Seen yesterday at the punk museum exhibition. Took through glass so a bit fuzzy, could not see a name.

Looks like an AKG D17 - but no logo on the screen end? :

Thank you, did the mic have a 'patent own brand' connector? I ask because this one seems to have a fixed cable of about 200mm and an XLR plug.

That last D17 on Reverb doesn't show including a cable, but I found another with adapter cable - screws onto mic and XLR at other end. Length looks about right.

The original mic has adepression on top, as does the Telefunken, but not the AKG.

That Telefunken probably had a logo applied to the screen when new, just fell off. It was similar to the AKG's logo.

I love a good who done it.

Good luck to the millennials in the future answering such a question with all the rebadged products coming from China.
