I contacted Shure and they replied that this Shure Beta 52a is not original.
Here is all our correspondence. Read it and keep in mind!

A question about Shure Beta 52a
Response By Email (Bernd Giesinger) (07/05/2013 01:38 AM)
Dear Irina,
thank you for sending us pictures.
Unfortunately it is pretty obvious that you have purchased a copy, not an original SHURE Beta 52A.
Unfortunately there are many unserious offers on the internet. Especially on ‘eBay’.
I suggest that you send the fake back to the company you have purchased it from. If they sold you the product saying it is an original, you can take legal steps if they do not take it back.
In general, we recommend that SHURE products are purchased at authorized dealers or at their websites only.
Best regards,
Bernd

Dear Irina,
thank you for your inquiry
Maybe you can send some pictures of the microphone, so we can try to determine if it's a counterfeit or or genuine SHURE Beta 52A.
Please also send some pictures with removed grille / removed XLR plug element.
Best regards,
Bernd

Hi!
I bought shure beta 52a mic on ebay and i doubt about it's real.
This mike has a body color darker that on its photos in the web.
Its grid and spring are shiny silver but not mat.
The connector is made of rough plastic and the title Shure is in the frame.
The channels are numbered in the circles.
Please tell me how can i recognise the real one Shure beta52a?
Kind regards,
Irina
