Vintage Ludwig 6.5x14 Pioneer Snare drum - Mahogany - Pre-serial keystone 1962

Description

Vintage Ludwig Pioneer snare drum. 6 lugs. 6.5" x 14". Mahogany finish.
COB hoops and lugs. P83 snare throw and butte plate show some rust. Red felt BB-Bat internal tone control in very nice condition. Pre-serial number keystone badge. Internal date stamp reads Dec 13 1962. All hardware works as designed.
Shell in very good condition. Some blemishes but no major scratches or gouges except the letters 'RTS' have been scraped into the shell between one set of lugs (see photos).
The hoops and lugs are COB. No dents or engravings.
The heads on both sides are used but have playing life left. Ludwig 20 wire snares play well. Two of the wires are distorted toward one end but still lay on the head (see photo)
Sale includes a padded backpack style drum bag
Please look at the photos to determine the condition. This drum is sold 'as is' with no returns.
Sales to US only. Apparently the US will not allow export of mahogany wood.
Thanks for looking.
