For your kind considerations is gorgeous Ludwig 5x14 Pioneer snare drum in Silver Sparkle from the early 1960s. This 6-lug beauty is 100% original and features a three ply white interior shell with an internal date stamp of MAY 29 1967. The keystone badge is securely attached with a serial # 434XXX.  

The original chrome hardware looks gorgeous and stunning with the pristine silver wrap. The P-83 strainer and butt, white felt baseball bat muffler, beautiful bow-tie lugs, and chrome over steel hoops all look great. Both drum heads are original. The batter head has some wear from use but has a lot of life left in it. Other than the wear on the batter head there are no imperfections to speak of, this is true gem in collector's clean condition!

There are no extra holes or modifications. Most importantly, it tunes up like a champ and sounds fantastic. Pioneers are some of the best sounding 6-lug snares and this one has all the vintage goodness you could ask for. Enjoy!
