Here is are two photos from an old Ajaha hi cap set

The cymbals were stamped with a a€?Ga€? in the side of the lower like other old K Zildjians from Istanbul. Those cymbals dated to the 1940s to ensure indicates this cymbal is fairly outdated.

The salesperson said yes a€“ but we later learned it really is indeed a Ufip

Another set of photos is yet another set of hi caps presumably from the exact same time. It appears that a€?X I? Ajaha a€z is handwritten on these cymbals.

There is actually an adult signature out there and. It states a€?Constantinoplea€? which had been the design with many cymbal firms in the early area of the 100 years. Whenever we can find a photo of the stamp, we might has a cause for a new cymbal timeline including Old, Intermediate, and New Ajaha stamps. Individuals practices to share a photograph with the holy grail earliest Ajaha stamp?

I happened to be interesting should you could help me determine what I have, it has got the Zenjian 1940s-1960s stamp including an Avedis Zildjian Co built in American stamp. Addititionally there is a rather faded trademark in bell.

Does any person determine if the triangular UFIP stamp (the picture shown on top of this page) was actually previously developed making use of round a€?MADE IN ITALY’ ped 90 grade left?

I’ve a 15a€? 1380g cymbal stamped Mogars LANO that came with a Leedy & Ludwig system that I obtained used in the mid 60’s. It appears like a partial stamp that says Mogars MILANO. The other cymbals happened to be trans-stamp Zildjians and a Zenjian so it is probably additionally from the early 50’s. Anybody been aware of they?

I purchased a 16a€? cymbal on Connecticut Drum showcase last April. Tried it out and purchased. Only discovered the UFIP marks and Est. 1847.

I have already been by using this as a crash and would not part with it for just about any sum of money. I do believe it actually was outstanding get a hold of…

I simply bought a set of 14a€? Vibra Cymbals now at a shop within Oregon. These are typically in very good disease. They don’t state other things besides a€?Vibra Cymbalsa€? on them. Do you have any concept if these are typically older or maybe more present Zanchi cymbals? Many Thanks, Nelson

We realized little about cymbals, opted for any I appreciated and requested whether or not it had been a Zildjian

Great info! But i do believe the picture from the tosco stamp is certainly not associated with Italian Tosco nevertheless a lot later on Canadian branch.

We have a 1,400 gram 15a€? cymbal with similar Ufip stamp as that regarding cymbal revealed here as a€?purchased in 1958a€?. It’s hefty but I prefer it my top hello hat. we have never ever heard such a definite bell sounds as with this cymbal, despite having the clutch about it. The hole try smaller compared to latest standards; not every hi cap clutch matches it. Could there be an effective way to determine around just what year it absolutely was made? I would feel glad to deliver a photo from it (to in which?) and pleased discover more about it. militarycupid I got myself it at a pawn shop in Ny when you look at the 1980s while trying to find an old Zildjian. .. and the a€?crown jewela€? of my cymbal ready. This web site is a good site and i am happy that i am finally capable of seeing here another cymbal with the same stamp as on my own. Thanks, Yonatan
