This is an original needle for van den Hul MM-2 cartridges. It is slightly used only, and needless to say, a VDH stylus lasts for thousands of working hours.

The MM-2 model has the famous VDH-1 stylus tip made of natural diamond, which is attached to a boron cantilever. Also all the MM-1 cartridge owners may consider this needle, because the bodies of MM-1 and MM-2 models are the same. Elac ESG 79x and 89x cartridges are also compatible, if I am not mistaken.

It is only a needle, not a complete cartridge.
