Yes, after researching today I think this kit is from the late 30's, early 40's.Snare has the silk steel-wounded snares on it.

There are two types of that badge that I know of, I think the one you have is the latter. The oval one I have not dated but I think the throw it has is earlier.

Don`t hold me to that though.

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

After "Lefima" run away from Markneukirchen in 1961 to West Germany their drum factory was nationalized and rename to Tacton which was closed in 1970 and transfered to Weißenfels to merge with Trowa.

As written higher modern Lefima is still on the market.

Drum set on pic is from early 40's for me.

Cheers,

George.

Send pics and info to Sonor, they are not going to hold info from you. Since they are still actively making imo, the best drums on the planet, I would feel secure taking advise from them. Coffee Break2
