Help identifying first stage regulator

[pisauron]

I got this one from an old timer looking to get rid of some old gear.
The regulator had an old Mares 2nd stage and an old R095 2nd stage connected to it.
The Yoke screw also says Mares.
I didn't find a Mares regulator looking like this, So these could have been changed at some point.

The serial number says "930772".
The regulator is an unbalanced piston design.

Can anyone identify it? Any info or lead would be welcomed.

Thanks

I'm going to suggest the only thing Mares about this is the yoke knob. I guess it could be a very early R1 or R2, but it doesn't match anything I've ever seen.

My guess is a ScubaPro Mk2 or clone.

I think it's a Seemann Sub first from the late 80ties, a MK2 clone as many manufacturers built at that time, I'll try to find pics.
The edge of the cap is quite particular and the way the numeration is stamped fits to Seemann Sub, this is why I remember, I'm sure I had one of those on my workbench years ago.

Thank you,
I couldn't find any images online of a Seaman sub like this. If you have any pictures that would be awesome.

The 1989 Seemann first stage as shown in the HDE online collection looks very similar.

It looks a bit similar but not really the same on the ambient pressure part. Thanks

I guess that's the one I mean, and for me it's the same model, look at the numbers stamped on the 1st, they are quite unique, both start with 93.....

Oh yes i see it now. I was looking at the wrong one.

Looks similar except the marking on the cap, they must have faded...

So any info on the history of this one? What happened to the company?

From Subgear Products – Oceanic Dive Center – Oceanic :

"Subgear is the rebranded name of Seemann Sub a diving brand active in Germany since 1979 and focused on providing divers with quality dive equipment at reasonable prices. In April 2007 the Seemann brand was acquired by Johnson Outdoors Inc. as part of its diving division. As a result, Seemann products became available in the rest of Europe in 2008 and the brand was renamed SUBGEAR in 2010, coinciding with the brand expansion to the worldwide market. Johnson Outdoors Inc also own Scubapro."

Johnson wanted to use it as a lower cost line of regs and a full line of accessories. They discontinued the Seeman regs and substituted Taiwanese made versions of their own older regs. Eventually they shut the whole thing down.
