Hello everyone. I found this old cymbal in a box of drumming parts someone gave me.
The stamp is almost gone in some areas which makes it hard to tell what it actually looks like. I amplified the contrast on some of the photos to try an get more detail out.
I'm thinking of selling it so my questions are how old is it. And what do you think it would sell for?
The photos are high rez so I can't attach them on this post. So just click on the links below.
Need to see the Arabic script, but from the looks, I'm guessing 1970's thin stamp Zildjian, but the Arabic will pinpoint it.
I would agree on the 60s as well. The font on the Zildjian is much thicker than the 70s.

The Arabic script is petty good in photo3 of my original post. I added some contrast to the photo here
Also I took the liberty of trying to past over the script with the paint tool in gimp. You can have a look at the attachment. I have also attached a photo of what the whole cymbal looks like.
The cymbal sounds like a splash. it's diameter is 26cm so the radius is 13cm.

Yep, definitely 60's
So how much do you think it could sell for? Like $20?
I agree with the others, definitely 60's. $20 is pretty low for that cymbal, I think. In my parts, I'd have no problem getting $60-ish.
