It's a Quick-Auto 300.

This is the *original* flash for the OM-1 *prior* to introduction of the OM-2. It only operates in Normal-Auto and Manual, and does NOT have TTL-Auto Mode. The Quick-Auto 300 only has a single, center trigger contact.

A quick history of OM flash units loosely tied to OM body introductions.
