I just came into possession of a Pre Serial Number Ludwig 6.5x14 Super Classic snare. It has some interesting engraving inside. I am wondering if anyone has come across anything like this or knows how to place where it might have come from? The 5-62 is obviously a date and the U.S.A. (well... i mean come on right.) and the U.S.N. i am assuming means U.S. Navy. Kind of a nice bit of history especially if it could be placed to a ship or even an individual.

Cool drum anyway. Will look nice with my '64 Champagne Jazz Fest and '65 Silver Sparkle set.
