The trademark stamp indicates 1960s. I don't see hand-hammering, so I believe they are from the mid to late 1960s. 157 euros is approximately 205 US dollars, by my calculation. I have seen a few sets of Zildjian hihats from the later 1960s sell for about $100US lately on eBay in USA. So, that would be a high price in the US. However, I don't know how hard it is to find late 60s Zildjian hihats in Germany. So, I can't really say whether you paid too much, or if you got a good deal.

I know we have a few members from Germany that may be able to tell you if the price you paid is high for Germany or not. I apologize that I can't be of more help. I will say that if you like the hihats, and are happy with what you paid for them, you got a good deal.
