What a fantastic find!
Question:
Are the lugs one-piece castings with tapped threads, or is there a floating insert inside?

There is no lug insert
In cast lug,they drilled hole and thread for tension rod and mounting screws

I don't think it's Trowa - i've seen a few of these drums, but i've never encountered such lugs. As far as I know, Trowa always used chromed lugs with nut inserts. Also, the hoops of the snare don't seem right - they look like cast, and Trowa always used triple flanged hoops with the top edge bent inwards, covering the the bearing edge, like old Slingerlands.
