UPDATES:
I won an eBay auction for a Shure 440SL mic shell, which is probably what this element came out of. So, it will all be period correct, for whatever that is worth.
I've never owned a vintage Shure bullet mic, so when I saw the 440 "Silver Bullet" shell on eBay I decided to go that way. It is already machined and threaded for a Switchcraft 2501MP screw-on connector. I need to see about putting an on/off micro-switch on it somewhere.

The mic shell arrived. Looks great! The small hole in the bottom is filled with epoxy and there is a grounding lug on the inside of the shell. I've ordered gasket and the 2501MP connector.

The harp mic project is coming along. Lower left is the gasket to hold the vintage Shure CM element. Next to it is the Switchcraft 2501MP screw-on cable connector. Now I need to decide between a simple on/off switch and a volume control.

Assembled and tested. Sounds great!
