For sale is a 1971 Ludwig Standard seamless non-beaded LudAlloy/aluminum snare drum shell with badge. Badge serial number 49937. Factory paper tag inside shell is intact, dated August 24 1971 with number "102" written in red ink. Shell is drilled for 8 Standard lug casings (2-7/32" center-to-center, a bit wider than Bowtie or Imperial lug spacing), P-83 throwoff (P-85 or P-86 will fit), P-32 butt, and 2-hole muffler. Shell exterior shows a lot of wear, one area has a serious scuff; badge is scuffed & scratched; shell interior is much better. Badge & vent grommet are tight. Shell is perfectly round and structurally undamaged, edges & beds are fine. Another project I started but won't finish, would make a great-sounding player or you could paint/powdercoat/anodize the shell to make it look superb. Asking $40 shipped in the USA, Canada extra. Interested parties PM or e-mail me.
