Try Ralf's Star dedicated site: http://www.star-drums.de/

There's a badge section.

Just checked, don't see yours on the site. Maybe he'll come in this thread, or IM him directly, have him take a look, maybe he'll have an idea...or someone else.

That's an interesting badge for sure.

I know that when they first made the change over to Tama from Star, the very early Tama badges had "Perfect Percussion" on them. Maybe it's a very late or last issue Star badge before they became Tama?

I also found this thread, which might be helpful:

Very common on the latin american bongos. Ive had 3 sets of bongos with that badge. Ive got 1 set left im restoring. Looking at brochure pics from drumarchive approx 1972. There are a couple of people on here with these bongos apart from myself.

Makes sense now...My first instinct was percussive drums such as congas, bongos, etc.

Thanks for chiming in, Sean!!

Must admit it is a cool badge well worth going in your collection. My bongos are nearly finished just getting some new calf skins which im fitting.
