Hi all,
I'm a regular over on Harmony-Central, and posted a thread over there, that led me here. I recently purchased a Shure SM57 off ebay. It's an exact match to dwarves88's fake.
I created this website about it. I had the luxury of taking it apart, and took some pics of the innards.
This is a counterfeit Shure SM57
I have ordered a new SM57 from Amazon, and will be doing my own comparison shots when it arrives. In the meantime, thanks to dwarves for his detective work! You saved my $78 I dropped on this fake!
