Here's another newby looking for some help on an approx stamp date on an old Zildjian K. The cymbal is 21.5 inches and weighs 2214g. Any help is greatly appreciated! Here's a link to some pics:

the last two pics are of the stamp. Yeah, it's definitely not a collectors cymbal with the keyhole but it sure sounds sweet.

Intermediate Stamp, from circa 1960. Is it for sale?

[COLOR="DarkRed"]l think that's correct - lnt stamp. You know - that keyhole isn't the worst l have ever seen - with a Dremel or handfile it could be 'rounded-out' or 'teardropped'. You could enlarge the diameter just a tad and then grind out whatever crack still survived the widening. lt won't hurt the value lMHO. Excellent weight and 21's are rare - and the sig is intact ! Hell - that puppy's worth a lotta $$$ !!!!![/COLOR]

Thanks for all of the info... you guys are awesome. I'm not sure what I'll do with it yet, it's been in storage for years. Thanks for the tip on the keyhole repair, but it was that way when I got it and hasn't spread so I might just leave it for the the next owner to decide.

[COLOR="Purple"]With old K's l always suggest - if you aren't hard up for cash - to Keep 'em and play 'em, 'cuz their value is always gonna appreciate over time (plus they are so awesome to play). BUT - if you are a heavy-hitter, Briggs Mind Blowi, be careful - because your 21 there ain't a heavy-hitter sorta cymbal.[/COLOR]
