Sonor 13" snare identification!?

Posts: 15 Threads: 9

Help needed! I have a snare size 13x5,5 (?). A Dutch sonorexpert told me it was a sonor shell, rims and screws, but the lugs are not original. I cant find any information about this snare on the internet... All the snares from 1963 are 14". Another weird thing is that there are no holes for a badge and dampfer...

See pics on http://jaapvissering.blogspot.nl/

Who can give me more information about this snare? What do the orignal lugs look like? I want to restore it

I also have a matching bassdum, of which im pretty sure it is a teardrop.

Thanks in advance!

Can we see the strainer drilling ? I`m seeing German drum parts but not confirmed Sonor. That particular snaregate went with select few Sonor strainers. Sonor 63 would have a double mallet logo badge.(I think) Before that was painted and script logo badges. Neither of these used a grommet, but two of them left tack marks.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

the stamp on first picture says that was some "4" year - last number means year of built...don't know if '64, '74... - my assumption

It could be 53, with the painted script badge washed off, but I saw you on the other site, Henk will know if it`s sonor, he`s the go to old Sonor guy.
