Name this shifter!

I just picked up my 6-spd to swap in my 98 TA and this shifter was attached to it. The shifter was a lot cleaner than the rest of the transmission, so I thought it might be aftermarket. It's got a leather ball with the Hurst logo on it.

I haven't messed with T56 shifters, so I got no idea what it might be. Is it a factory one with a Hurst ****? A factory Hurst one? Some crappy Chinese knockoff?

Looks like the factory Hurst ,**** and upper lever. It could be a knock-off but I don't think so.

I had the factory hurst. Pro 5.0 is much better in my opinion. I had the UMI short stick on both.

Thats the factory Hurst...I just bought a Pro 5.0, installed it, and went back to the factory hurst all in the same day....I have also had a B&M Ripper and the factory Hurst is much better than both....it feels much more positive b/c it has stiffer springs
