Hi,
I'm hoping you guys might be able to help.
I have a 70's Ludwig snare, with a blue and olive badge. The serial number is 1700890. What is confusing me is that all the research I have done into these drums is that they are either 14x5 or 14x6.5. However, I believe mine is 14x6.
I'm trying to establish more information regarding its history and value.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Dave
Really that's different hmmm let me guess a dubs sonic with s Ludwig badge lol
Dave measure the drum shell without the rims on it . it will measure out to be a 5x14" model #LM 400
Nice drum. I don't see any pitting. Must have been in a dry environment.
Thanks for the replies guys. Much appreciated.

What he said... (It's a Ludwig Supraphonic)
Date wise, according to the S/N charts, I'd say between 1976-1979

As for value, it depends on the condition. In this case, it looks to be in really good shape, as these drums are notorious for pitted chrome.
If there is ZERO pitting, you are looking upwards of $300. If there are pits and scratches, you can still get >$150.
Does the strainer work with smooth action, and can you post close up pics of all the angles?
