Hi everyone. I have some questions about a drum I salvaged/restored a few years back. I have never actually figured out what exact model this is, and any help would be appreciated. This was my very first project and at the time I didn’t really care what the exact model was, but now it’s really bugging me.

It’s an 8X15 3-ply w/rings and nickel hardware and hoops. It came with a Ludwig script butt plate, but due to the extra holes, I’m not sure it’s original. Shell was bare when I got it, original color was gold sparkle, which is the color I re-wrapped it in. The original wrap was through the shell, so I was able to take a small piece from the interior. There are quite a few extra holes in the strainer/butt sections. No strainer or badge came with the drum. The modern Ludwig strainer fit two of the holes perfectly, so that’s what I put on it – I did not drill any holes anywhere on this drum. Additionally, there is no date stamp.

Please take a look at the pictures, especially the interior “extra holes” shots and see if you can figure out what the heck this beast is, thanks!
