Good information there Mark thanks.
The Gretsch is a beast , wow.
I was just being curious about the weight,
as mentioned previously the shaving of the lug hole is the best way to tell I would think.

Correction the COS super ten is the beast.

Regarding weights for brass vs aluminum bare shell (and full dress, although you shouldn't use the full dress classification function for 8 lug drums) see:

There is a very small (p< 1 in 500) probability that your shell is brass, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't check.
Here's some pics of crimped snare beds obtained from a google search.
Looks like standard beds (not crimped in).
I read somewhere about a letter b near the bar muffler indicating type of snare. I do not think there is a b present

No "b" stamps during this particular period. They came a few years later.
