Hello all. New guy here from the great state of Nebraska. My name is Matt and I came to this place with a few questions on a certain snare drum of mine. Not sure if this was the best section to introduce myself and ask, but here we go.

For the last ten years or so, I have had a Blue Sparkle Slingerland snare that is quite perplexing. It is a measured 5 x 13 with the Black n Brass Chicago, Ill. Badge. I am missing all lug bolts, snare side hoop, and throw off lever.

I am wondering if anyone has ever seen a 5x13 from this era. Also, in an effort to restore it, does anyone have any sources for the aforementioned parts that are needed.

Thanks in advance to anyone with any info as I have as of yet been unsuccesful in finding any.

Matt
