Hi,
found some zildjians,
a 18" crash, ride or something with a stamp that says
AVEDIS
ZILDJIAN C°
genuine turkish cymbals
made in USA
aaaand.....
a 15" hihat bottom or top?? with a stamp that says
made in turkey
K Zildjian & ???
ISTANBUL
?????
and it has an autograph on the inside of the bel
What are these? How old are they? and what would be the value?
and some pics of the 15" first!! (I tried to capture the stamps as good as i could :s)

And here are some pics of the 18" ;)
New Stamp Istanbul K hat & 60's old A 18" to me.
On the bay, probably $250-300 for hat / $80-120 for 18", but it depends on the market trend.
I cannot have something to say the difference in general.
It is because the sound depends on each character to me though I've played about more than twenty old K rides.
I'm sorry the stamp might be intermediate K(1959-1966). Probably, the price may be $350-500.
How difficult would it be to find the matching 15" to have a complete hihat??
Are these rare??
Sometimes I may come across an orpahn 15" Intermediate K. If you have time, check the ebay or another sites.
How about the 15" New Stamp(1000g) BIN $300?
that looks a little to pricy atm :p
What should I do with the cymbals, clean them? or let them be?
Would i risk playing them? cause they really sound amazing ;)

Do you already has them?
As for Old K Con & Ist, I feel no need cleaning. If you don't know, let them alone. Risk? If the sound is nice, enjoy playing! D' Drummer
Thanks Yoshi ;)
yeah, I have the 18" avedis and the 15" K with a 15" istanbul thin crash that make a awesome hihat!!
I think I'm gonna give the 18" a basic clean to take off the fingerprints and leave the 15" K alone, it looks great and I don't like very shiny cymbals anyway!
