Ludwig snare - dating the bugger!

Loading...

Hi all,

Wonder if anyone can offer help? I have a lovely Ludwig snare I bought a few years ago with a badge that denotes mid eighties to the present. Just trying to get ideas on how to get a more accurate date on it. I’m told the serial number won’t help and of course there’s no date on the shell....

Any help much appreciated, (site won’t allow me to upload pics at the mo but i’ll give it another go ASAP) cheers

My belief is that anything after serial# 3,14x,xxx is post 1984 and made in the Monroe, NC plant. Some Monroe made snares will have a date stamp on the inside of the shell.

Here's a great source for dating Ludwigs. The author is also a member on this site I believe.
