Does anyone know anything about my cymbal?

Is it a Zildjian at all?

Patience there, I am sure someone will chime in!

Might have to eat my shorts for this, but I think it's Italian made.

I'd say your shorts are safe Ben. Looks to me like a UFiP cymbal made for distribution under another name. There are lots. Original pic thanks to Ronn Dunnett from his tour of UFiP.

Yup, looks like the same logo in the image Ben posted, top row towards the left.

Thanks Shawn, I missed that. I thought I was seeing "Hollywood" in the script but it's something else. Must make that appointment for new reading glasses. I'd say the one in the left of the top row is close, but slightly different again. We know from past experience that this wall doesn't give complete coverage.

Thank you very much!

It makes perfectly sense to me that this is an UFIP because a got it with an UFIP 20" PING ride (for free) with the stamp in bottom right of the mountain hicks post and i got both cymbals from the same guy. Cymbal guide you say?

I´m new to this forum but i will most certainly check it out.

Now i´m gonna try to date it.
