Nice weights, and just look at those bells. I'll bet these things really have a nice bark to them.
I recommend that you check out these hi-hats
Yeah those are killin for sure.
Here is a pic and info from the listing for future reference...
14" vibra zanchi hats. They are quite light at about 700 grams a piece. I believe they are handmade and likely from the 50s, or prior, as the center holes are very small. I believe these are a matched set, however, pic 3 shows some overlap, as one cymbal is about 14 inches and the other is about 14 1/8 inches. They are made in italy and have a nice dark vintage sound in my opinion. They also appear to have a brilliant or semi-brilliant finish. There's some tiny nicks on the edge shown in the pics. There may be some very minor edge waves but nothing notable (because I couldn't find any notable dents, I showed the seal gap in pic 4, which is on one side and will go away if you put your hat foot down. You could probably use these as jazz crashes when not using them as hats. They have patina and discoloration and stickmarks and scratches. The center hole are slightly out of round, and as mentioned, very small. There's no cracks. Really in nice shape overall.
Cheers

Are these cymbals yours?
They're not mine. I have a set of 13" old Vibra hats that I have no intention of parting with.
