Description
Brand: Zildjian Era: 1940


This amazing Paper Thin Trans Stamp old A Zildjian weighs a mere 1433 grams, by far the thinnest 20" vintage cymbal I've seen. Excellent condition, no cracks or drills holes and only minor keyholing and edge wear (keyholing might be original based on the hammering ridges...see pic). Ridges in stamp make this one of the few Trans Stamps to date to the 1940's, most are from the early to mid 1950's. Beautiful hand hammering. Did I mention it weighs only 1433 GRAMS?!?!? This is an extremely rare cymbal, but even more rare to be undrilled and in this great condition. It has amazing 70 year old patina that I wouldn't dream of cleaning off.
