I may have a real monroe badge soon, the repros aren't bad, but they are just that,, does you kit have the round corner blue olive badges on them??

They have round with the corners, another kit I have is a 71-72 S/S over maple. I removed the S/S as it was stuffed & will be going to green sparkle, that kit came with the same badges but with no serial numbers or etching where the numbers go. Hey how rare are 70s bowling ball wrap kits, I have a 18" 70s 3ply floor tom in that wrap, cheers.

I've used the repro badges on a tribute kit, and they look great. If you plan on reselling the kit or drum, I probably would look for some real Ludwig badges.

I've used the repro keystones and love them. They look wonderful.
