[Help Thread] Puzzle Identification thread

IMG_20220307_101306.jpg

I've the pleasure of trying some old cubes of the past. However, I can't identify the cubes. Are they old YJ cubes, or some moyu cube, or shengshou?
 
Have an early DaYan cube here. Not sure if it's genuine or not? No images of early DaYan's I have found look like this inside.
Just wondering if anyone can identify the model, or clarify if it is genuine or not. It doesn't have the 'TM' mark on the logo, but that may have been added later in DaYan's product range/history?
Thanks in advance for any help...

Just noticed while reviewing this post, that the DaYan logo is moulded on the underside of the center caps. Which makes me think it is indeed a genuine DaYan, just which one?

Also thought I'd mention that I was lucky enough to score a second batch original 'Magic Cube'. It's one of 5000 (I believe) that they tried printing the colours, instead of stickers. The orange paint/ink reacted with the cube plastic and turned purple! It's also in very good condition, so I'm pretty chuffed..

Looks like a dayan lingyun v1 to me, though I can double check when I get home
 
Awesome, thanks for the reply. Did you notice my two other posts a page back? A Guojia and a YJ of unknown type/model.
Just started watching some of your videos..
 
I got this pyraminx off Amazon a few years ago and I wanna figure out what it is. It's very unstable and been so for as long as I can remember. It sounds kinda high pitched and crunchy.

Just to confirm, the DaYan in my previous post is indeed a LingYun V1. Armed with the potential name (thanks Ender9994) I was able to seek out some images that, as I say, confirm this. Thanks.
