Default Vintage K question.
I have an old, hand hammered cymbal that has no stamp but has the signatures under the bell. Did Zildjian ever produce cymbals without a stamp? I will post pics when I get a chance. Thanks all.

Signing the underside of the bell is a traditional trademark on Turkish cymbals,which then was adopted elsewhere, more as a style.Sometimes there were two signatures. Some really old cymbals had only graphic imprints or an Arabic stamp--------no English, sometimes very small and there were quite a few different makers aside from Zildjian. Perhaps if you posted a picture of the signature, it could be matched with another.
