I posted recently about a few new acquisitions, including a sparkle blue Bollero.

Ralf had never seen a Bollero badge without a grommet hole and asked me to remove a lug and take a pic. This is the best I could do for now. I'm still looking for my ipod... Btw the lug insert (not shown) seems to be brass and has 2 flat sides, not the usual shape. Also the lug casing is heavier than the lugs on my Stewart and isn't divided into 2 sections, like the Stewart lugs are, therefore the springs are longer.

The bass drum seems to be a "standard" pre international 21 5/8". Has anybody seen this on a MIJ kit? I have been digging since saturday and can find nothing on this apart from the usual suspects (Premier, Ajax, Sonor etc.) There is a calfskin head on the beater side. I am planning to use that as a reso head. After looking at prices for a pre international beater head, I think I'm going to try and make a 1/4" spacer for each lug out of high-density rubber and fit it with a 22' head. Fingers crossed. I would have forked out the $ for a custom Remo one if I was planning on keeping this kit, but I have to flip it for financial reasons and I bought the kit for the 1959 Ludwig Barrett Deems snare really. Thanks for any input!
