Please help me identify this dynamic

[antichef]

I got a Gaines MP1 preamp from mrbowes, and now I'm pulling out all my old dynamic mics and trying them out. Anyone know what this one is?

I can't find any writing on it anywhere.

I think that's Japanese... seems like I saw a couple go by on ebay a while back...

Looks like some sort of Electrovoice omni.

+1 on the EV, made in Buchannan, MI days.

EV makes sense -- it's the same diameter as an RE-10 and 635a that I've got, and the indented band at the bottom is the same size as the ones on those mics -- on those, the band is close to the top of the stem, and it has a little ribbon around it that tells you what the model info is. Could be that the ribbon is missing on the mystery mic.

Anyone know what model it is?

I think I've got it - this ebay listing says it's the "University Sound 1655 dynamic"

http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-Univers...I%2BIA%2BUA%2BFICS%2BUFI%2BDDSIC&otn=10&ps=63

still seems fairly obscure - I'm not getting many meaningful google results

University Sound is a rebranded EV, right? www.universitysound.com takes you to EV's website, anyway.
