DOH! In that case, we need to check the green kit's interiors to see if they are marked. That might just solve it!

Dang it, do I have to be the dick again? You guys know I'll do it, but it is only at the request of the few to benefit the many, in this case I am concerned, for what reason I know not...it's OK, I'll do it gladly.

But for more than 1200 on what appears to be a refinished kit that should be a wrapped kit, and in that color...it is a 700-800 kit, only in MY OPINION, not more. Please, no flaming on this type of opinion...

About 6 months ago I saw a 12/13/16/22 Slingy concert tom set at the local music store.The drums were factory stained inside and out and the finish was just like those-orange peely-but in mahogany.Two maple rerings ,but what I considered an amateur finish.I THINK the #'s put it around '79.

Now if I remember right, "P" meant that the shell was to receive a "pearl" finish -meaning a wrapped finish. That solves it! A stained/lacquered shell would not have been marked "P".

I have a walnut kit that has a P in one of the shells, so I don`t think that holds true. My 2 cents.

Tommy, it has been a recognized fact that 99% of Slingerland shells marked with a "P" were meant to be wrapped, not painted or stained or lacquered...not to say that someone did not grab one and say "this looks great, I'm gonna stain it!" Mostly the ones marked with an "M" were done in other finish than wrap. Look around, ask around, we have made 30 years of progress over the last 3. It is our job to leave a dedicated site with as much accurate information as we can. Not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, just trying to get it as close to historically accurate as we can.

You OK wit dat, bro?

Yep I`m OK wit dat, bro! To tell you the truth, feelings never came to mind. My point was that the shells having a "P" means that it was wrapped from the factory, IMO, that is not 100% accurate. Yes, I know that "P" means wrapped and "M" is not, by the book. I would not bet a "rack of long necks" that they did not stain a shell at the factory that had a "P" on it. I have read some where that someone has seen them with both a "P" and "M" stamped in the shell.I`m with you on historically accurate info "bro". Tommy

"P" = Pearl finish

"M" = For "Maple" as it would take a stain or lacquer finish.
