Looking for help identifying this banjo

I just bought this banjo on Craigslist.
It appears to be a decent instrument, and sounds pretty good.
But it doesn’t have any identifying marks on it that I can find.
The guy I bought it from couldn’t really tell me anything about it,
just that he had had it for about five years.

It has:

dual coordinator rods
heavy tone ring
planetary tuners
decent inlays
clear head
black interior
plywood (maybe?) pot

Any help in identifying this would be greatly appreciated.

    FYI, I posted this link on banjohangout.org, and I got a couple responses basically saying it’s an Asian no-name. That’s fine with me. It means that it was probably built in the same factory as a name-brand banjo. And it sounds fine, so I’m OK with it.
