I'm looking for some help with 2 different Zildjian badge stamps.

I'm trying to figure out what decade they are from.

I've checked out all of the stuff on line and I'm still not sure.

#1 Zildjian ride cymbal is 22", the badge is 1 1/2" tall about 2 1/4" off the edge of the cymbal. weight is 7.5 lbs.

I bought this cymbal used back in the late 70's. It appears to have imperfections in the metal. The cymbal is a heavy ride.

Hmm, toughie for me without a full imprint. My best guess is 60's but it is a guess. pics of the whole cymbal, hammering and lathing could also be helpful, but I bet Bill knows just from the stamp pic.

Would love to hear Drumaholic's dating of this one. I'd (wrongly :) ) guess 50s?

Definitely not 50's because of the lathing, but it may be 60's or 70's. It's hard to tell exactly from what I can see here because the Arabic script is not impressed very well.

Thanks everyone, I've added 3 more pics to help identification.

Any idea what this ride cymbal would be worth (ball park) ?

About $150 - $175.
