ludwig serial numbers black and white badge

A typical Acrolite is a beaded aluminum shell with 8 lugs. If it's not an Acrolite it's most likely this model. To me it appears to be an Acrolite, because of the badge style, but if I'm not mistaken the Acrolite is black. Is there any possibility that this could be a better model then I am expecting?Īlso, any idea if it is worth picking up, and if so what it may be worth? Thanks, CharlieHmm. Hey guys, I noticed a Ludwig Snare for sale near me, and I was wondering if you could tell me what model this is? It looks to me like a steel student model snare, but I am not an expert at Ludwig snares. The few lugs that aren't, went on the bottom side of the bass drum. Most of the chrome is in very good condition. The shells are tight and in good condition. Otherwise, all other heads are in fantastic, if not new condition. The batter side head of the rack tom has the most use, but it's still got lots of life left in it. The only hardware that it comes with are the floor tom legs and the tom mount and bass drum spurs. The floor tom is 16x 16 and the Rack tom is 13x9. The toms are factory painted white on the inside and are keystone badges but with no serial numbers. I repainted them black and put the matching WMP inlay on them.

The hoops are wood and are in pretty good shape. The bass drum is 22' x 14' and is maple (not painted inside. The batter side of the bass drum doesn't have original claws, but as far as I can tell everything else is original. The hardware is all in very good condition. They've been re-wrapped it in a brand new White Marine Pearl. $1,000.00 These 3 drums were originally wrapped in Black Oyster Pearl and the wrap was in terrible shape. Dont jive with my serial numbers, not even close, Mine- 757889. Ludwig brought that badge back on a lot of new snares, so it could be a lot newer. What era Ludwig is this? Any idea of a fair price that I should offer him? There is a serial number on the badge as well. The top have of the badge is colored black (instead of blue) and white (instead of olive). The bottom half of the badge says 'Ludwig' in black. The badge is the same shape as the blue/olive badge ludwigs.
