Hi all,
Recently acquired this cool Kent blue badge 5x14 snare in really great shape. Found it on ebay for about $80. All the lugs, hoops, butt, and rods are original but there was no strainer, so I obtained an adjustable throw from indedrum.com (great products!) to avoid redrilling the shell. The finish is Oyster Black. The shell is in great shape (with some glue and pencil marks present - so cool!) and will take some experimenting with head combos to find its sweet spot, but I'm very pleased to have found this instrument!
