Got this with a set I purchased recently. No clue what it is. Seems to be hand hammered. Extremely heavy for a 16". 1520g. Stamped on it GRAND PIY. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like Italian hammering to me. Similar to old the Ufip style in my opinion.

that little ****** of a bell on it and the nickel silver metal in it makes it look exactly like some 50's cymbals that I have , stamped Trixon and Roxy, although mine have no hammering. It would only take a few minutes to install those hammer marks with a trip hammer----they are primarily cosmetic. If the cymbal is rotated by hand while trip hammering, the effect is uneven ,so it can mimick hand hammering. The Trixons are an N.O.S. pair of marching cymbals(16") and the Roxy is a 17".They all have a very shallow small bell and fairly flat profile. I suspect mine to be early Meinl spun brass cymbals. They are all too heavy.
