Alex this is an OL Silver mk3

The photos you take need to be straight and a side view is needed + one from above. Trying to look at that one gives me a crick in my neck.

No! Looks like a Rega250
It is an Origin Live Rega conversion of some kind - very poor photo though :(.
On second viewing I think it is what they used to call the Silver Mk3 - but they don't do this kind of Rega conversion arm any more.

Yeah sorry about the picture, it was a screenshot which I uploaded to photobucket with not very good 3g signal. I'll try and sort it now.

Much better! Still not excellent but as they're screenshots it's the best I can do.
They are good enough - yeah, it's definitely what used to be called the Silver Mk3 (C I think).

That's what I thought it was, the picture on the OL site confused me though. I didn't realise they were no longer based on Rega arms. Thank you to everyone who has helped.

That's a Origin Live Rega modified arm. The Silver arms have a nylon thread and ball arrangement for the anti skating and you clearly see the RB250 type anti skate in your images.
There seem to have been many "versions" of the Silver arm. This is an old Mk III of mine, look at the notes on the box by Origin Live company;

From the look of the RCA phono plugs, Cardas Silver Tags, that's definitely an Origin Live Silver MK3A Tone arm.

As an ex owner of a Silver MkIII, it's definitely nothing like the one I owned.
It is an Origin Live arm and probably a Rega 250 conversion. Later Silver models had very little of the Rega DNA, only the lift/lower mech.
