An ebay pickup. Earstem is labeled NPI and everything looks very crisp. Probably sat in a box or on display since 2012 because the earsock has pulled away from the edge - a clear sign this has not seen much atmosphere. Of note: the polished orange jaws are dyed o-matter and not orange paint. From experience I greatly prefer this to painted components since this guarantees it will never chip, crack, or flake.
