Hello,
I picked up this COW snare on ebay late last year. I'm hoping to get some opinions on the snare beds - they look a little sloppy, like they've been modified. The chocolate-milk interior paint has been sanded away in those areas, I don't know if that's common for Slingerlands or not. I've attached some pics.
Also, the Zoomatic strainer appears to be missing a washer and nut on the inside, hopefully you can see this from the pics. Not sure what was there originally.
Lastly, someone did a butcher job on the badge, the inside is a little chewed up, the grommet is pretty bent up as well. The snare sounds alright, the Niles badge s/n (if it's even the original badge) reads 22817. There's also a number in pencil on the interior 062 50 2471.
Thanks for your time!
