A pair of 14" marching Turkish K Zildjian cymbals/hi-hats. These have the last Constantinople stamp, which means they are likely from the 30's or 40's. Gorgeous hand hammering, and they are not quite exactly round which may indicate they are even older. Weights are 1142 and 1182 grams respectively, very close in thickness. I'd characterize them as medium weight. They have small center holes, but I was able to carefully thread one cymbal onto my Gibraltar hi-hat clutch.One cymbal is in excellent condition all around, with only very minor edge dings as pictured. The other cymbal has one significant ding and some minor warping, also shown in the pictures. There are no cracks, no keyholing in either cymbal. They have been polished at some point but not anytime remotely recently, and have a nice patina. These have a good complex old K wash, and would have even more if the warping was corrected. I decided not to touch them. Ships free in the US!
