Some info on this cymbal?

Posts: 294 Threads: 64

So I made a "rookie" mistake. Went to look at a cymbal advertised as a 23-24" Vintage Zildjian and didn't have a tape measure on me. Ended up getting it ($100.) Got it home and realized the guy must have been measuring on top across the bell. Flat side measures about 22 1/4" so it looks like I got a 22". Never the less, nice cymbal, no cracks, no keyhole, 5 rivets (one missing) Can anyone tell from the stamp about how old it is? Pretty small stamp 1"x1". Going to try and weigh it if I can find a scale, doesn't feel that heavy. Also, should I clean any of it or leave it alone? It has a few green spots. Thanks Rich

DO NOT clean...maybe rinse under water...might take some green off.....

The price you paid is is probably on the low side. but how does it sound?
