Thinking of passing on paying nearly $55 as it seems to be budget steel(?) and only 6 lugs(?) anyone recognise this?

It looks to me that it is Ernie the generic Asian import snare drum with some "dare to be different" lugs.
No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

Yes. It looks to be an Asian copy of a Sonor style "teardrop" lug.

I had a snare drum for a while that had lugs like that. One of the members here said the brand was Trak. As a brand they don't have a good reputation, but that chrome snare I had wasn't horrible. Nothing special but it worked.
I would look around a lot before spending fifty bucks for one. You can go on shopgoodwill and get a Tama or Pearl chrome snare for less than that.

Yep. Asian. I had a big six and a half incher made of cheap brass. Same strainer and lugs. Sounded awful but, was bright and shiny. The guy at the pawn shop loved it!
