"K." or not a "K."?

Without the trademark photo, the default setting is for this one is on NOT.

Bosphorus Cymbals USA used to sell small copper rivets as an accessory item. I'm not sure if they still do or whether they will fit. They had a pretty small diameter though. Perhaps you can contact them.

I bought some Bosphorus and some Agop brass rivets from cymbalsonly.com. The Bos rivets fit the old K. So Im in business! Tried the cymbal with three rivets on a gig yesterday. I think Ill add a couple more for the next one and keep going until I scope out the sounds.

I'm glad the Bosphorus rivets worked for you. I assume they are still made of copper. I found that these small and light weight rivets sound better than others that I've tried. I'm happy they are still available.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense. It sure did not sound like any Old K that I've ever heard

Purple Chord via Reverb has a "nice" 22" old K New Stamp. In a sweet Lighter weight ; was kind enough to send a video. Enjoy "the Zildjian"...

and there's this.

"90% there".. (or was it 9%?.

no mention of the different insignia's over the Turkish K 1940-1978.. and the corresponding build (which equals) Sound.

Mixed the Sound (stamp) eras and made the "Kerope".

Sound, like, cleaned up, New Stamp /era. Which is Ok.

They're an amalgamation of Old K.

My son owns a set of Keropes including 15 inch hats, 18 and 20 inch crash rides, and a 22 inch ride. While they are certainly nice cymbals, they don't sound similar to old K's, IMO, although the 20 inch comes the closest.
