Hi Phillip.
I hate to disappoint you, but this probably is an aftermarket body cap
made for Olympus. I have a few of those myself - they are actually
much better than the plastic Olympus originals. But expensive....? I
wouldn't think so.... Mine came through eBay (2 years ago), and I paid
$10 for 5.
BTW, is the word Olympus on the back put in the 'original' Olympus
type of lettering? In my case it is not - if this is different with
yours, you might have that _utterly rare_ Olympus made body cap.
Now just get rid of the O in OM 1 !
