This is for sale here in NZ. It's quite cheap (about US$130) but the buyer won't ship and it's in the wrong island for me. Might be a bit of you Trevlak? I'd buy it if I could get to pick it up.
It has a 10 lug BD I notice but can't work out a brand. Any thoughts?

Shells don't look like they have re-rings, i'm gonna say aria or marranucci

To me that set look's like a late 1969-1971 set of Crown's M.I.J. Why,Crown was the only M.I.J. set's of that time that had a 10lug bass drum,also the mounted tom's are 8 lug's these two thing's were trade-mark's of Crown drum's.The red paerl finish was also crown's.Tom mount also look's Crown to me..Shell's are 7 ply wood with no re-ring's too..I would get this set if you can,they will sound good...Mikey

Thanks Mikey. Unfortunately someone else got it. Just wasn't practical for me to go and get it.

He picked it up – it's a Winz. Humorous for New Zealanders as it stands for work and income new zealand a rather militant govt agency set up to help the unemployed. I can find no info on them...

Nice. I've seen that name before. Probably an MIJ stencil sold only in this part of the world.
