What year john

Post some photos of the stamps. There's a few here that will be able to tell you the time period the cymbals are from.

Ok, the first picture is the top, the second is the bottom.

No expert, but this is what i learned from Mike..

Looks like a 70s thin stamp. there's the absence of the 3 dots in the Arabic writing and the H in Turkish is not aligned over the E in Made.

Maybe he'll chime in to confirm or not.

I don't usually engage in this sort of discussion in for sale threads unless somebody asks but...

I knew they were very likely 70s from the original photos because they have that sort of hammering and lathing.

Here's my annotated description of how to tell that the trademark stamp is what we call the 70s stamp:

Plus I've recently added another independent check:

The H E and N C alignment to diagnose a 70s trademark came from Biggles. For some reason the method was overlooked although it was suggested some years ago. I researched it and proved how well it worked as a diagnostic method. Then Cliff DeArment helped with the R M A A vs K M B A distinction in terms of distinguishing the different Trans Stamp types. In researching that distinction I noticed that it was of very general application. Mike Layton has also been a great help in many discussions of these matters over the years.

Well done sir!!:)

Now that we have definitely determined that these are indeed from the 70's, will someone please buy them? I'll throw in this nifty Zildjian plastic bag.Excited
