For your prime viewing pleasure is this rare vintage 13" K Zildjian Istanbul Old Stamp IIa cymbal from 1945-49. This was a cymbal imported exclusively for Gretsch, and has the coveted "G" stamp near the edge on the bottom side. The old world hand hammering and exquisite lathing is a thing of beauty. This lightweight cymbal is very responsive and sounds dark and breathy with a slightly dry decay. Truly a gorgeous sound that has aged beautifully. One tiny miniscule bite along the thin edge and no cracks, bends, or key hole. This cymbal measures at a true 13", making it a great candidate to pair up for use as a hi-hat. Enjoy!
