Vintage Zildjian - 50s or 70s - opinion?

Posts: 1017 Threads: 349

I've posted in Marketplace that I'm looking for a crash for a set of 50s/early 60s As. I'm scoping this one, but can't tell the era. It's pretty shiney, which suggests 70s...but it looks like a fair amount of hammering, which (to me) suggests 50s.

Opinions?

It's 70s. The thin stamp gives it away, but the hammering is too symmetrical to be hand hammered.

I agree, it a 70s stamp as advertised by the seller.
