Vintage Zildjian K hihat cymbals

Loading...

Here is a set of 13 1/4" K Istanbul HiHats that weigh about 726 and 792 grams. The 726 is cracked. The Stamp on both is the same and I believe it’s the old one. The lathing patterning on the top and underside of both match up, as does the hammering. The weights are similar and sizes are almost identical so I suspect they were purchased as a matched set. They have some roughness at the center holes but no hole cracks or keyholing. Both cymbals have the expected patina, scratches, stickmarks and discoloration.

There are two edge-nicks on the 792 cymbal. I have tried to show these in the close-up pictures but they are very small. This cymbal lies flat with no waves or dents. The underside shows craftman’s signature and “Medium 13 33cm”

The 726 has major cracking in two places as shown in the pictures. It does not lie flat.There are no edge cracks, dents or nicks.

Those both have the Hartrick Intermediate Stamp. 1959-1966.
