Publius, Welcome to the VDF. the color is a real slingerland color that ran from 1964 to 1977, it looks to not be a re-wrap, serial #'s can have this wide of a range to them, there was no rhyme or reason to the way they where put on in sequence!! the snare drum is a 5 1/2x14 not a 5" this looks to be a cool kit! here's a very helpful link for you also! http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/drcjw/articles.html

thanks for the reply. in looking through old slingerland catalogs from your link, i don't see an 18" floor tom until the 70's. that's why i wonder if this kit isn't pieced together from one or two kits of different vintage.

Yeah the floor tom may have been added latter! for it to be a buddy rich kit it would be two 16" toms! ask the seller for more pics and Info if your going to pull the trigger on this kit!

I have seen this kit before, I think. If I'm not mistaken, he came here several months ago seeking info.

That's a pretty cool kit. Personally, I would have to see all of the badges inside and out, inners of the shells, edges, and that snare mech. Those items would tell the tale for me.
