Hello guys and experts....got hold on a vintage profiled cymbal.
11" Deep hammering...bellotti/ufip look but unsure what it is. Sounds like early K Constantinople with a similar bell profile.
Stamped under side says:
" Half moon and Star"
A & B
Constantinople (written in half round)
Weighs 690gr!
Italian factory? that stamp is not on the Ufip's stamp collection's found here on VDF.
Any thoughts will be appreciated :) Thank you
With some good quality and in focus photographs of
the stamp,
the whole cymbal from the top,
the whole cymbal from the bottom,
side shot showing the profile of the bell
we might be able to get started.
Oh yes...i forgot the pictures...;) here we are...to me, it looks like a Bellotti hammering and style but the logo is unknown to me...
I'm thinking some sort of Italian, but not UFiP. One of the other producers. Yes it looks kind of Belotti in hammering style, but I don't even know if Belotti produced cymbals under other names.
Maybe somebody else will recognize it.
