Hi there, i asked this question on another website years ago before i knew about the expertise here. Below are pics of the stamp and bottom side of the top hat on my set of 13" A's 680/720 grams.
My question is do you think these are 70's or later 50's cymbals. It has the black coloring in some of the lathing like some of my other 50's cymbals but doesn't have much hammering(neither does my 13" trans-stamp i currently have paired with this one).
BTW ignor the painted A, i did that about 20 years ago when i thought i had to have ink on my cymbals...
