Hey Bill, I assume this is a Type I, correct? I see signs of vertical hatching and the placement of the Made in USA under Turkish Cymbals appears to be correct for a Type I. 2330 grams seems like a nice weight. I wonder how it sounds.For a guy who claims he not an expert and is helping out the late owner's daughter, I'm surprised he knew it was a trans stamp and its 1946 to 1953 timeline. He may know more than he's saying.

Yes you're right. Good eyes especially for such an old guy! Well done!

lol. I guess I had a good teacher. Bowing

It's getting so you can't even insult somebody these days and get them to be ****ed about it anymore. It's no fun now. Oh how I pine away for the good old Cymblholic days when we could still have those 3 day long flame wars.

I still have my thirst for knowledge. However, I can think of better ways to spend my time these days than wasting it arguing about any subject which, in the grand scheme of things, is relatively trivial. As a result I don't miss those flame wars one bit. Of course being an old curmudgeon, I'm sure you enjoyed them. Excited

O.K., well at least I got you to call me "an old curmudgeon" this time; so I feel much better now. Yes that was satisfying.

Interesting tactic...but unfortunately completely inefectual.21" trans stamp[img]https://photos.imageevent.com/drumaholic/ebaycymbals1/websize/crack%20fail.jpg[/img]
