Here is a page on the web site that you might not find that easily. Some times I start projects and leave them for a later date and some times I never get back to them.. I do however create a link so I can find it later and or maybe it get back to working on it.

Here is the page

On that page is a page titled Snare Pages... On the snare pages I'm going to go year by year and show all of the different manufacturers drums, but this is a huge project that I have not worked on in probably 3 years...

I did however get the Slingerland Snare Page done and that should help you and others looking to see some Slingerland Snares year by year.

Slingerland Snare Drum Page

Let me know if that helps...

The brass handle is a homemade replacement. Those would often break, and folks would fashion new ones. Now you can find nice, correct looking handles.

Those lugs would also tend to crack, so it's possible that at sometime they were replaced with different ones, and then the correct lugs were put back.

I think the brackets you're referring to are the "bridges" found on the snares with the 3 pt. strainer, not the clamshell.

I did get another picture of the drum with a few lugs off and the holes were crudely enlarged for the square lugs that were probably on the drum at one time.

My recommendation was to try and get his money back....
