I just got this Premier snare. Says "Made in England". Anybody know what model/series this is and around what year it was made? Sorry the one pic is upside down :(

Hello....The snae drum is COS 14x5 model 1005. It came out early 80's. In the brochures was used with the premier club models. Olympic used the same snare drum. Once they stopped Olympic drums they changed to the club model. Then put a premier badge on it.

It is in great shape...only a few scratches. You wouldn't know that it is around 30 years old :)
