Help identifying stylus on Pickering UV15

20190310_171412.jpg I picked up a Pioneer PL-55DX with a Pickering UV 15 cartridge, but there's no identifying information on the stylus that I can see, other than "dustmastic". Where an identifying number usually is, there is just a singular silver dot, otherwise it's black.

This is my first turntable, so I have zero experience in the area.

Thanks for your help!

If you carefully remove the brush it should tell you.Pickering usually writes it on the top of the stylus under the brush
 
Model ID will be in the same spot-Pick did ID some models with a dot or ellipse but those would not be for their UV-15 quad cartridges. Genuine Pickering styli will also have a tiny Pc embossed on the right side of the front facing.

I don't know the history of this turntable, but the cartridge is definitely a UV15, I can see it printed on the side. Unfortunately I don't have any quad vinyl to test it on to even see if it's a quad stylus to begin with.

Given the information, how should I go about identifying this?

Take some close up pictures of the stylus tip.

Perhaps a fellow forum member could identify it. :idea:
