Help identify this first stage please

[dsenloe]

Could someone help me with this first stage? I have a feeling that it might be made up of parts from two different brands. The yoke has a scuba-pro emblem, there are two 7/16 HP ports, one 3/8 LP port and one 1/2 LP port marked DFC ?? Serial number starts with a stylized "CE" 0426. Any help would be appreciated

It would be helpful to have a couple more images but, going off of what I see it looks like it is a MK16. Then again I think you may be right about the Frankenstein regulator. I would know in a minute if it were taken apart. I believe the DFC stands for Dynamic Flow Control. The CE 0426 refers to a Euro standard for scuba equipment, although I do not know what it is offhand.

The CE is not the serial number, it is the CE certification permit number:

CE mark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you search for that CE permit number, you will probably find the answer.

Based on the "DFC" (Dynamic Flow Control), it's probably a Mares body with a Scubapro yoke on it.

My guess is that it's an older Mares MR12 reg with a ScubaPro yoke on it. I don't think it's a "bastard" regulator because one manufacturer's parts won't usually fit another's reg. That's how they are able to keep you coming back to them for service kits, etc.

Any exception would likely be the yoke, the size of which is pretty much standardized so the reg will fit all yoke tank valves. Another exception might be the DIN wheel that screws into the DIN tank valve.
