Very nice 40s Round Badge 6.5x14 Gretsch Broadkaster snare in beautiful original yellowed WMP. Super Structure 3 ply maple shell, in round and very nice condition, no extra holes, one very shallow crack in the inside ply (see pic). Edges are nice, has 1 place with some minor ply unevenness, a little sand paper should clean it right up. All heavy nickel hardware cast rims, nickel rocket lugs, nickel muffler (needs felt glued down or replaced, nickel butt plate (missing 1 original screw for the back plate), 4 point strainer, all but 2 original tension rods. Wrap is in fantastic condition with a nice little bit of even vintage yellowing, no cracking, tight seam, the original owner did scratch a serial # in the wrap right beneath the badge, its very light and hard to see unless right up close, it was even hard to capture in a photo.

Looking to trade for a Slingerland snare, a Radio King, solid ply artist, or maybe a 3ply artist or ace in the right finish. Also looking for a mid 60s maple interior/no bdage 16x16 in original silver sparkle. Let me know if you may have something to trade.
