I hope someone can help with identifying this snare. It looks like an Acrolite but it has a chrome finish. Didn't think the Acrolites were chromed. Any help would be appreciated. Here is an Ebay link to the snare.

The badge looks too big to be "old". I honestly don't know what to tell you. I know of no chrome Acrolites...

I can't be sure, though. The badge could be legit. I need some better pictures. Probably a safe bet for a few bucks in any regard.

The weird thing is the lugs. The rest of the snare looks like a supra but the lugs look like they are from an Acrolite.

Yeah, and it appears as if there's only EIGHT lugs...so it couldn't be a Supra. But, yeah, I was going to say that someone just took the Imperial lugs off a Supra and replaced them with bowties...but EIGHT lugs???!

This is a suprahonic. More expensive drum, but the chrome finish does not typically hold up.

Just looked at the picture again. The 4 lugs shown only take up about 1/3 of the drum. Looking closely, do you think it's possibly that their COULD be 10 lugs or is the spacing too far apart to have 10? Thanks for everyone's input.

Picture is not the best but I think it's the best we're going to get.

Just purchased a different snare from Ebay.

Pretty sure it's a Supra.

Thanks O-Lugs.

Got it for 140.00. Hopefully worth every penny.

Thanks again
