Here, I have a 14 x 14 MIJ floor tom that I acquired awhile ago with a Stewart kit...It has no badge and is a 3 ply with re-rings...Wrap is in excellent condition with hardly any scratches or marks...It had very used white plastic heads on both sides with Raven embossed on them...
Here are my questions:
1. Is this FT a Star or Pearl stencil? I`m leaning towards Star but I`d like to be sure...
2. The inner screws/flat and lock washers/nuts look clean as a bean (see pic #4) Would they be original? I haven`t come across any MIJ`s with lock washers on the inside or the square nuts on the leg brackets...
3. Could this be a re-wrap? The wrap just seems super clean for it`s age...The vent hole looks as if it could have been tampered with at sometime...Possibly the reason for not having a badge!!
4. Has anyone seen this finish before on a MIJ stencil?
Any other info that you could share would be mostly appreciated...
As always, thank you gentlemen in advance...
