Thanks everyone for the great info. Fayray, that catalog link is perfect. It actually looks most like the '65 version. I am also confused by my badges (attached). Don't seem to match the catalogs.
This is the USA badge after they got sued. Star could not import using their own name. Someone else had a US trademark on the name so they used this badge as the only one on the drums for a period of time. I am working on the timeline for this badge. My 8256-B COS snare has this badge on it and it is unknown era. Definitly Star.
