What kind of Gretsch is this? Last viewed: 5 hours ago

Hey guys, need help with this:

(will upload photos later, now please click the link)

Could this be a Gretsch set? What period? The lugs look Gretsch, everything else looks MIJ to me. I've asked the seller for additional photos of badges and interiors, but in the meantime, what do you think?

Hmmmm

The stripped drum looks Gretsch. The others look MIJ.

I don't believe they are Gretsch- maybe the stripped drum. But it's worth a look.

MIJ drums for sure.. Stripped floor, maybe Gretsch..Lugs certainly look like it..

Thanks a lot, guys. The set has already been sold. I'm uploading the photos for a future reference.

All the lugs look kinda same to me, though. What differences can you spot?

stripped drum is Gretsch 4418, there is another stripped tom Gretsch hidden in boxes, no badges, but original stickers inside.

Rest of drums I don't have clue yet, gray paint inside, lugs similar to Gretsch, but slightly different shape, but also three grooves on top.

Exactly same metal hop for 20" kick advertised on ebay as old gretsch recently, very strange asymmetrical tension rods for kick, closest to old Trixon drums, but so far no sign or label at all. (but sounding great)

Ah, so you were faster than me! Well, congrats! Were all the cymbals Zildjian?
