Classic AKG mic pair in excellent condition. Serial numbers 13055 and 19990. Cannot confirm age as the serial numbers are not recorded with AKG. Documentation looks old maybe early 80s? There is plenty of good info about these mics on the web. Made in Austria.
These are well known as great drum overhead mics and also accurate for acoustic stringed instruments. Both come with original protective cases, documentation, clips (not matching), wind shields and a stereo mounting bar.
