Handmade by Scott Helmke, who also builds the "Alice" mics that were reviewed in Tape Op a while ago. This is the same capsule but IIRC a slightly different circuit, and obviously a radically different build. It handles higher SPL's than the Alice and sounds great. I've used it on vox, guitars, and some other stuff. Cool mic, I just gotta clear out some gear.
There's more info on the mic here, and more pics:

I bought it for $200 from Scott a few years ago, and I'll sell it for the same. I'm also interested in trades for decent mic pres and maybe a few mics.
edit - Sold to Mr. Hamilton.
