Pete, the info that was given to you on the DFO is correct, it's a Wfl supreme concert model the Pioneer name is for ludwig but the same drum essentially, with the drum,case,sticks and stand at least $250.00 the sticks look to be 60's ludwigs

word.......

It was all snare drum and bell music - and I think I may have gotten the date wrong on the inside - could be 1958....

No biggie they are the same drum from that time period, it's still very cool, the entire kit!

If you want it to look almost new,polish all the nickel parts with nickel polish (parts off the drum,of course!

Then,polish the shell with paste wax.........put about 1-2 TBS in some cheesecloth tied into a ball,then wipe the shell with it.........let set 5 minutes.........buff clean with 100% cotton rags/towels/t-shirt etc................shell will gleam!
