THESE HI HAT CYMBALS ARE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE JUST CHECK OUT THE PATINA FROM THE 1930'S.  THEY PROBABLY STARTED LIFE AS SEPERATES AND ALONG THE WAY IN THE 30'S WERE PUT TOGETHER. THEY ARE SUPER THIN COMING IN AT 400gms/600gms LIKE PAPER. BOTH PICS OF STAMPS CAN BE SEEN. THE BOTTOM ZILDJIAN CYMBAL WAS DISTRIBUTED TO PREMIER GREAT BRITAIN AND SIGNED UNDER THE BELL THIS CYMBAL ON ITS OWN IS SUPER RARE IVE NEVER SEEN ONE. THE CONDITION OF THIS IS TOP NOTCH NO NICKS SPLITS KEYHOLING OR ANYTHING JUST 100% CLASS. THE TOP CYMBAL IS VERY OLD POSSIBLY DATING TO PRE 1930.EVEN 1910/20. IT HAS A COUPLE OF EDGE NICKS SLIGHT KEYHOLING AND AROUND BELL MINUTE HAIRLINE SPLITS. VERY MINUTE AND VERY SMALL. ALSO ON CYMBAL AS SEEN IN PICS 2 SLIGHT SMALL SPLITSMORE NICKS AS NOT SPREADING, AND I MEAN SMALL. PLUS ON BELL MINUTE SPLIT/NICK. THE CYMBAL IS ALSO SLIGHT OUT OF ROUND WHICH ALL CONSTANTINOPLE K ZILDJIANS WERE OF THE DAY. IVE PLAYED THEM WITH HEAVY ON TOP AND WOW WHAT A SOUND PLUS PLAYING THEM THE CORRECT WAY GOSH WHAT A SOUND. NONE OF THE DEFECTS OF WHICH IM BEING PICKY AFFECT SOUND. THEY HAVE BEEN USED FOR LIGHT USE JAZZ ETC ETC AND BEEN LIKE THIS FOR YRS. BASICALLY FOR A K ZILDJIAN FROM CONSTANTINOPLE AND A ZILDJIAN FOR PREMIER YOU WOULD PAY THROUGH THE ROOF BUT WITH SLIGHT DEFECTS THE PRICE IS LOWERED.
I WOULD CONSIDER SELLING SEPERATELY. THE NICKS ON TOP CYMBAL PROBABLY AS ITS SO THIN. IM REALLY BEING HONEST AND PICKY AS TO THE NORMAL EYE YOU CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING. YOU WONT COME ACROSS ANOTHER SET LIKE THESE. ESPECIALLY THE CONSTANTINOPLE K ZILDJIAN. THESE ARE DEFINITELY TOP COLLECTORS GRADE CYMBALS EVEN WITH MINUTE DEFECTS.
