Hi Fellas,

On the subject of Ludwig badges, can anyone put a year to my latest project? It is a 402 Super sensitive. I believe it's a 70s one but can anyone out there be more specific going by the physical characteristics? I do not have the original badge and the internal date stamp is smudged beyond legibility.

See images...

yes your correct, it has the 2nd generation super sensitive strainer on it!

Thanks Vintagemore2000,

I thought maybe someone out there might be able to date this snare to within a few years given the damper assembly and the internal lug picture.

Thanks again, I'm glad it's a pre 1980 snare, will site nicely with my Dynasonic and Tama Kingbeat...HORAAH!
