Ludwig Snare from 1930s

As you can see the strainer was replaced (last pic) with a Pearl strainer. What should I look for that would be an accurate strainer for this drum?

Hard to tell, but it actually looks like the Pearl strainer used the original mounting holes...so, someone did it with respect and brains, at least.

I dunno....maybe :

My snare looks alot like the first pic from Drum Farm. But, mine has 10 lugs...the description for that drum says 8 lug. They are very similar.

Contact Drum Farm and ask...he is a very nice guy, actually. tell him you are looking for a strainer like the one in the pic, as you think it is the original strainer for your drum. Ask what the hole spacing is of the strainer in his picture.
