1965 Ludwig Downbeat 4x14 Champagne - Page 1

Champagne sparkle finish,believe it to be all original w/5ml Orchestra Batter top head,Pat.No. 2979081( may be 7.5 not sure )Weather Master bottom with same patent number.Keystone Badge # 191058,inside shell stamp date is Sept.24,1965.Is white finish on inside .12 wire strainer,has a baseball bat top muffle lever which works as well and pad is intact .The shell is in beautiful shape,the rims have a few scuffs,the lugs have some minor surface rust as well as some of the other hardware but appears it would polish up very nicely.The screw heads in the shell are rusty on the heads of them.I am not an expert so I didn't want to clean it and it needs a good one. I did polish a portion of the shell with Behold and it shines as new.Did the same with a section of one of the rings and it shined nice as well .The top head is somewhat dirty but as stated i didn't want to make a mistake as I know this is a somewhat rare and desired piece. .I will double box with Styrofoam or bubble wrap or both and pack it very well.Buyer will pay for actual shipping costs .I will only ship to the lower 48 states and will transact via Paypal.Asking price is $550\ OBO .Having said that I hope it finds a good home and completes someones kit for them. http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/jj510/onthethreshold/ludwig%20Snare/snare.jpg
