Im not trying to be a hard ass…but I fail to see the relevance in these types of requests from manufacturers who build specialized gear.
Bottom line…the Copiers try and become something they are not. Specialized gear always has custom components.

I get what you are saying for sure...
I'd hate to see someone rip him off. Wade's stuff is great, and him and his team deserve to make a living doing what they love.
Here's where my point differs:
knowledge is power. While it is true that specs and country of origin don't always dictate quality or better sound...
It's great knowledge for the informed consumer, and guys who value authenticity.
Knowing things like material choices, manufacture, etc... It call tell a lot about a mic and the folks building it... and Chandler has never released a mic before.
BTW, MANY of these high end mic manufacturers make a it a point to brag about those details, ie. FLEA, Wunder, Audio Technica, AEA, etc. It's not like everyone else isn't doing it...
Knowing those details won't make it any easier to rip anyone off, as I'm also sure this mic is heavily influenced by others that came before it. I'd bet money that this isn't a 100% brand new design that shares no similarities to another famous mic. Jeez... even the amplifier circuit is a take on a clone of a converted amplifier from over 40 years ago...
for realz?
