This is an AKG D17 (see pics of AKG factory engraved model & numbers) branded and distributed by WSW in the late 50s. It has been converted to XLR connection not the Tuchel connectors that German mics of that era came with until the world standard of XLR became the norm, so there is no need for a Tuchel to XLR adapter.

(AWS, or Audio Wireless Systems, was a company that sold the AKG D17 microphone under their brand in the late 1950s. They were involved in the distribution of audio equipment during that time.)

The AKG D17 uses the same capsule as the AKG D12


As we’ve tried to show in the pics, there is a very slight indention in the wind screen (see pic with thumb showing this). We only discovered this as we were taking these photos.
