Vintage 1965 Ludwig Keystone Badge Pioneer Snare WMP 14 X 5

Description

This is a Vintage 1965 Ludwig Keystone Badge Pioneer White Marine Pearl Snare Drum 14" X 5" with date stamp in nice condition! There is very little fade in the WMP wrap, and here's the story, because the snare for years had a protective covering over it, Ill call it a protective covering but in reality someone way back when covered it in what looked like wall paper. I bought this snare a couple of years ago and re-stored it to its ordinal condition and carefully stripped the covering off. It is a great snare and I'm only selling because of a pricey purchase of another snare drum and I am selling some gear because of that. I Believe everything is original on it except for the top/batter head. The hardware is Nickel Plating, even down to the lugs and washers and is in nice condition. The hoops, lug casings, throw/lever, butt plate, baseball bat style muffler are all nickel and original, the snare wires are Ludwig but I'm not 100% sure they are original, everything else But the top head and possibly the snares is original.  There are NO cracks and NO issues with the interior which is in its original white coating with one of the clearest Ludwig date stamps (April 23, 1965) I have seen on the inside of the shell and the inside of the shell is in very good condition, please look at the pictures. The bearing edges are in good condition. The Keystone badge is numbered 131532 which dates the manufacture of the drum to 1965 which correlates with the date stamp. The last picture shows the snare when I received it, prior to restoring it. It shows the covering that was on it with some removed showing the beautiful White Marine Pearl underneath. Please remember this snare is in nice condition for its age but it is used and not perfect. The shell is also in round condition and heads fit well on the shell. Overall it is a nice mid 60s Ludwig snare drum. Pay Pal only. I will ship U.S or International through the eBay Global Shipping program.
