I'm looking for the steel wound snare wires that are threaded like you see here. I need at least 4 wires that will fit this 14" drum. Four of the six you see here are broken.
If anyone knows where I can get a complete set of wire I would be interested it them as well. They don't have to be perfect but I need them to be functional and not ready to break with tension.

Hi Gary
I have some of these.
Please PM me your address and I'll send a set of six to you.

Thanks Kevin. I messaged you. Harry Cangany also got back to me and he places my drum early 30's and it's a Ludwig & Ludwig. VFWs handed out their decals to Ludwig and sometimes Ludwig issued them (the decals) to retailers to apply them. I think that's the case with my drum because the decal seems to have been applied - then moved for some reason - and probably the key holder was removed at that time. The key-holder screw holes are plugged but you can easily see the outline of where the holder used to be. Funny thing though; my drum looks like it has been painted 'over' the screw hole location......
I'm pretty sure it's a factory and first sale retailer drum as the heads looked and felt like they were on the drum from the beginning. As you know.....you can tell that if you've removed enough old heads=the dust, the smell, the impression of the heads on the shell and all.
