Super-Zyn small stamp?

Posts: 1344 Threads: 172

Hi, I own a lot of Super Zyn cymbals, but one of them is different to the others. It has a different stamp. I have included some photos. If anybody can tell me more about this less common stamp I would be grateful. Would I be right in thinking that this is an earlier stamp? The cymbal doesn't have the same hammering as the more commonly seen stamp. Those cymbals appear to be machine hammered because the hammer marks are very accurate and uniform. The small stamp appears hand hammered and is almost K like in it's characteristics - Very dark and complex sounding. Take a look at the two stamps. The dash under word "SUPER" is straight on the more common stamp but on the small stamp the dash is curved or arced. Can anybody give me any information on this old stamp? I've not seen another one like it.

Chromeo,

Check out the thread and I started. I recently bought a 22" with your exact stamp. I agree that it is very "old K" like.

Here is said crash. I posted this video sound file over in the RINGO'S Cymbals thread too.
