There is no such thing as a Zildjian signed that way. What you've most likely got there is an Italian ersatz K. Probably a Zveltiam.

Backbeat66,
If it's an old K Constantinople (not made in USA or Istanbul) it could fetch you up to $300 depending on the shape it's in.
I have several of the old Constantinoples and the signatures vary widely.
According to Craiggy and Paul at the Zildjian factory, it probably just means that one of Aram's workers hammered it and they both signed it. The records process and the work was done all ad hoc and kind of hodge-podge back then.
There were only two actual "cymbal-smiths" and the rest of the guys (there were only 4 or 5 others) were part-time workers.
Hope this helps,
Jeremy
