or go to the drum gallery and look at my 1965 ludwig black diamond pearl kit, they are the ones i showed you on 2nd photo. post # 6

In that case, you have the curved spurs that are made from square stock. Those came out in 1970, I think.

sorry i did see them, i lost track of my spurs,my guess is ive got a set of very early seventies drums

yeah that's what i was going to say, the snare drum is what was throwing you off, see mate not so bad after all.

thanks all for your help!

Glad to be of help!!

Those curved spurs actually came out sometime in mid 1969. I have seen them on a few keystone badge sets. It pains me to think of this but a guy I went to high school with picked up a blue sparkle 20,12,14 from 1969 with those spurs for $300.00 in the early 90's. He ended up drilling them out for pearl spurs and totally ruined the set! I wish I had known he was going to do that! I still get nightmares about it as you don't see many downbeat sets from late 1968 in to 1969. I guess that makes all the other original ones all that more rare.CryBaby

mmm 69? that would follow,i would like to know what year they are but sadly they have been re-wrapped and are missing their badges
