This looks like a 70's stamp, but the logo is small and deeply stamped, I'm stumped....

I'm no drumaholic, but my opinion is that because the word "Zildjian" isn't bolded compared to the rest of it, it is in fact a 70s stamp. Sometimes stamps are just deeper or shallower than others...

My guess is late 50s. The lathing and deep stamp show the late 50s.
anyway, let's wait for experts coming.

The lathing seems pretty uniform to me. Also, I don't see any still-visible signs of hammering like you do with a 50s Zildjian.
On second inspection, though, the word "Zildjian" DOES appear to be a little bolder than "Avedis" and "Genuine". Hmm...color me stumped!

Should mention this is a hi-hat cymbal, and the stamp matches in some ways, but other's it doesn't. I'm guessing a 70's (not thin) stamp....it's going up on ebay listed as 70's, if it changes, I'll make the change.
